Mississippi Motion Picture Incentive Act; revise to increase certain rebates and removing caps on individual productions and aggregate yearly disbursements.

HB 1222 would increase Mississippi's film production incentives by raising the base rebate from 25% to 40% of a production's investment and adding a 10% rebate for films featuring Mississippi landmarks like Civil Rights history sites or the Mississippi River. It removes annual caps on rebates for individual productions and total yearly disbursements, while defining eligible expenses to include in-state labor, equipment rentals, and local services. The bill directly affects motion picture production companies filming in Mississippi, offering expanded financial support for both general production costs and landmark-focused projects. However, the bill died in committee on February 4, 2025, and did not become law.
