2010 House Bill 6285

Narrow allowable film subsidy secrecy

Introduced in the House

June 23, 2010

Introduced by Rep. David Agema (R-74)

To narrow the scope of a Freedom of Information Act exemption in the state film subsidy law. Under current law the state Film Office can keep secret information, records or other data submitted on commercial and financial operations submitted by a production company. The bill removes this part the FOIA exemption, limiting it to just intellectual property or information whose release may put the company at a competitive disadvantage.

Referred to the Committee on Tax Policy
