AI Summary
This bill establishes a pilot program for a live theater tax credit in Massachusetts. The credit is available to live theater companies doing business with Massachusetts-based venues, companies, presenters, or producers. The credit can be claimed against state taxes and is intended to support the expansion of pre-Broadway, pre-off-Broadway, and national tour launches of live theater productions, as well as the development of long-running shows. The bill defines key terms like "eligible theater production," "production and performance expenditures," and "qualified production facility." It outlines the application and certification process, the credit amounts, and reporting requirements. The tax credit program is set to expire on January 1, 2026, unless a production has received initial certification prior to that date.
