SB1159 (Multimedia Production Tax Credit) is on the Rules Committee agenda for Monday, February 28.  ASAP E-mail the Senators listed below who are Rules Committee members and explain why this “MULTIMEDIA JOBS CREATION BILL” is important to you. If the bill passes this committee, it may go to the floor of the senate for a vote by the end of the week.

If you worked on GOATS which wrapped yesterday in Tucson, please let them know what role you played as crew, talent, extra or service provider.
