HB 4568 Texas House · 89th Legislature (2025)

Relating to the Texas moving image industry incentive program and the establishment and funding of the Texas moving image industry incentive fund.

HB 4568 establishes rules for Texas's film and television incentive program, affecting production companies seeking state funding. It prohibits grants for projects including pornography, news programming, political ads, religious content, or state commercials, while requiring content reviews before and after production to ensure compliance with "standards of decency." The bill defines the "Texas moving image industry incentive fund" and mandates that the state office review proposed and final project content to prevent ineligible uses. These provisions aim to direct state funding toward eligible entertainment projects that align with Texas values, without changing existing funding levels.
