This bill died with 99th Regular Session. It reached “Passed Senate” and never advanced before the session ended, so it can no longer move — a new version would have to be reintroduced in the current session.

This bill is no longer active — its legislative session has ended, so there is no live prognosis. It would have to be reintroduced in the current session to move again.

Summary

Urge the Department of Commerce and Economic Development to award an Illinois Film Production Services Tax Credit to Forty Acres and a Mule Filmworks, as long as it meets the requirements of the tax credit program, in the belief that the filming of "Chiraq" in Chicago will result in a positive economic impact on the State in general and on disadvantaged, high-unemployment communities in particular.
