The Legislature hereby finds that the production of films in Oklahoma not only provides jobs for Oklahomans and dollars for Oklahoma businesses, but also enhances the state’s image nationwide. Recognizing that the high costs of film production are driving motion picture and television production out of the country, most notably to Canada, and that the film industry is always seeking attractive locations that can help cut the costs of production, the Legislature further finds that the State of Oklahoma, with the appropriate incentive, can become an attractive site for film production and that Oklahoma is presently among several states with minimal incentives to attract the film industry. It is therefore the intent of the Legislature that Oklahoma provide an incentive that will stand out among those of other states and increase film production in this state.
