Gov. Gavin Newsom declared his support Aug. 3 for expanding California’s film and television tax credit program as a way to lure movie production away from states that restrict or ban abortions.
Newsom said he supported the state’s legislature’s Senate Bill 485—which would add another $1.65 billion to the tax credit program—extending it through 2030. The program spends $330 billion per year on tax credits for the industry.
