With the signing of HB 475 into law, Gov. Brian Kemp reinforces Georgia’s commitment to the long-term success of Georgia’s film industry. The bill, sponsored by Rep. Matt Gambill (R-Cartersville) and Sen. Matt Brass (R-Newnan), modernizes the film tax credit language to reflect industry changes since the original bill was passed 20 years ago.

“We thank the Governor and the state legislature for their support of this bill, which will help Georgia stay competitive by addressing evolving film, television, and streaming technologies, while strengthening the guardrails for the administration of the Film Tax Credit program,” said Lee Thomas, Deputy Commissioner of the Georgia Department of Economic Development (GDEcD) and Director of the Georgia Film Office. “The success and consistency of the tax credit, combined with world-class production facilities, diverse locations, hundreds of support service companies, well-trained crew, and high quality of life, keep Georgia a top filming destination.”
