A Message from CFA President, Linda Lee
Codification Update
The good news is that the two Provisos passed in 2015 and 2016 allowed the Film Commission to process $18,866,874 in rebates for FY 2016-17. The bad news is the Film Commission is out of money until its “bank account” is replenished on June 30, 2017.
The CFA is working hard to get S. 74 and H 3439 on the agenda. Codification will make the Provisos law and give the Film Commission the ability to recruit more film and television projects to South Carolina year round.
We did warn the Senate Finance Sub-Committee that we would be back next year to ask for more money. If anyone would like to discuss this in greater detail, I would be happy to answer any questions you may have. Feel free to get in touch.
