SB 1046- Relating to the Entertainment Industry
On Tuesday, March 10th, SB 1046, relating to the Entertainment Industry, by Senator Nancy Detert (R-Venice) unanimously passed through the Senate Commerce and Tourism Committee with 6 yeas and 0 nays.
This bill restructures Florida’s approach to the entertainment industry in the state. One main benefit of this bill that is important to AIF and its members is the increased percentage of Florida residents that must be employed in qualified productions.
The next stop for SB 1046 is the Senate Appropriations Subcommittee on Transportation, Tourism, and Economic Development. AIF’s Senior Vice President of State and Federal Affairs, Brewster Bevis, stood in support of this bill.
AIF supports the incentivizing of the Entertainment Industry here in Florida, as it will create more jobs for the citizens of Florida.
