    Representatives Marler and Thane,

    Missoula County supports HB 340: Revise the MEDIA Act film tax credits, up for hearing tomorrow morning in the House Taxation Committee. HB 340 has four primary objectives: create high wage jobs for Montanans, build infrastructure, support local business, and increase the tax base and expand the economy. HB 340 poses no threat to the State Treasury. To the contrary, the MEDIA Act has already proven to increase the state’s tax base. Also, production companies spend millions of dollars on Montana’s main streets before a single tax credit is issued. Without HB 340 and an expansion of the MEDIA Act, Montana will see a decrease in productions from 2020 levels. The MEDIA Act has had positive impacts in communities small and large across the state, like Depuyer, Browning, Hobson, Lewistown, Butte, Darby, Emigrant, Livinston, Hamilton, Missoula and Lincoln. HB 340 is an industrial development bill aimed at building a new industry for Montanans. It will generate new high-tech jobs, incentivize investment in substantial industrial infrastructure, provide opportunity for existing Montana businesses and create opportunity for Montana start-ups.

    Please support HB 340.

    Representatives,

    Missoula County opposes the Senate amendments on HB 340: Revise the MEDIA Act film tax credits, up for second reading this morning on the House floor. We are concerned about the significant reduction in tax credits from the original bill language.

    Please oppose the Senate amendments on HB 340 and restore the bill to its original form.
