The Legislature hereby finds that the production of live audience episodic television in Oklahoma not only provides jobs for Oklahomans and dollars for Oklahoma businesses, but also enhances the state's image nationwide with a focus on authentic storytelling targeting Middle America. The Legislature also finds that the entertainment industry is always seeking economical locations that can help cut the costs of production. The Legislature further finds that the State of Oklahoma, with the appropriate incentive, can become a strategic site for live audience episodic television production, that serves as strategic retention for the production of live audience epsiodic series in Oklahoma. It is therefore the intent of the Legislature that Oklahoma provide a pilot program incentive specifically for live audience episodic television production in this state, carving out a niche in the industry that Oklahoma can be known for.
