In plain language

The bill modifies tax credits for live theater productions in Illinois.

This bill amends the Live Theater Production Tax Credit Act to tighten requirements for pre-Broadway productions and extend the tax credit through 2039. It also allows unawarded credits to be redirected to commercial Broadway tours if certain thresholds are not met.

What this means for you
  • Small Business: This means small businesses involved in theater productions may benefit from extended tax credits and potential reallocation of funds.

Summary

Amends the Live Theater Production Tax Credit Act. Provides that a pre-Broadway production must have a presentation scheduled for Broadway's Theater District in New York City no later than 18 months after its Illinois presentation (currently, must have a goal of having a presentation scheduled for Broadway's Theater District in New York City after its Illinois presentation). Provides that, if, in any State fiscal year, less than $2,000,000 in credits are awarded for long-run productions and pre-Broadway productions under the Act, then the difference between $2,000,000 and the amount of credits awarded for long-run productions and pre-Broadway productions in that fiscal year may be added to the $2,000,000 in credits allowed to be awarded for commercial Broadway touring shows in that State fiscal year. Amends the Illinois Income Tax Act. Extends the sunset of the live theater production credit until January 1, 2039 (currently, January 1, 2027). Effective immediately.
