The Oregon Media Production Association (OMPA) Advocacy Committee is pursuing an $8 Million increase to Oregon's current film incentive which would raise it from a $20M cap per year to $28M and attract an additional $100M in budgets each fiscal year. The current legislation is HB 3329.
The bill's first hearing is Monday, Feb. 17. It is CRITICAL to have as much written testimony as possible in favor of this bill. Please submit your testimony as soon as possible, but at the latest, prior to the public hearing at 8 a.m. on Monday, Feb. 17.
