Please write today as the bill can come up for a vote at any time! If passed, the bill would move to the House for consideration, getting us one step closer to the finish line!



Your communication can be short and sweet, 3-4 sentences tops! Here is what we suggest you include: 

1. Who you are and how you are affiliated with the film industry
2. Why you think it’s important to pass SSB 5760 (which would increase funding for the production incentive program to $20M a year!)
3. Ask your Senator to VOTE YES ON SSB 5760 when it comes up for a vote on the Senate floor 
4. Thank them for their time and consideration.
