AI Summary
This bill requires the Department of Business, Economic Development, and Tourism (DBEDT) to publicly announce certain information when a production company receives a permit to film at state-managed locations or when a company registers for or qualifies for the Motion Picture, Digital Media, and Film Production Income Tax Credit, which is a tax incentive for film production. This public notice must include the name of the production and contact details for a representative, and it must be posted on the DBEDT's website within five business days of the permit issuance or tax credit qualification, or within fourteen business days during emergencies. Additionally, individuals can sign up to receive these notices via email or postal mail, with potential fees for mail delivery. The bill also allows the department to create rules to implement these new notification requirements.
