A 3302 New Jersey General Assembly · 2026-2027 Regular Session

Revises film and digital media content production tax credit program to include requirement for production of domestic original music and musical scores.

This bill amends New Jersey's film and digital media tax credit program to require that all original music and musical scores for qualifying productions must be created and recorded within the United States. It directly affects film and digital media producers seeking tax credits under the program, which provides credits of up to 40% of eligible production costs. The key change adds a mandatory condition: producers must ensure domestic production of original music/scores as part of their eligibility, alongside existing requirements like spending 60% of costs in New Jersey. This policy update applies to all productions claiming the credit, without altering the credit percentages or other existing program rules.
