What happened

Some supportReported by 1 outlet

Adam Schiff and Chris Coons joined a delegation of California Democrats campaigning for a federal film incentive bill. The proposed legislation would create a 20% to 30% transferable tax credit for U.S. labor costs on films and TV shows. Schiff stated that the U.S. needs to counter incentives offered by 65 other countries to keep American production jobs.
