‘Hollywood South' could be established in Louisiana with new legislation
BATON ROUGE, La. (KTAL/KMSS) – Film Louisiana announced Governor Jeff Landry's signing of Senate Bill 232 (SB 232) into law on Monday. Louisiana Public Broadcasting to honor six students across the state as young heroes It includes Act 44, a law that makes Louisiana one of the most competitive states for film production. 'Act 44 modernizes the state's film incentive program by granting Louisiana Economic Development (LED) the authority to manage the program through administrative rules instead of state law. This change provides the flexibility needed to respond quickly to industry shifts, better negotiate with studios, and attract a wider range of film and television projects to the state,' a press release stated. The bill makes large-scale productions and episodic series more attractive in the state by keeping the $125 million annual cap and 2031 sunset date while eliminating per-person and per-project caps. 'Chef Niema Day,' winner of Food Network's Beat Bobby Flay recognized 'This is a game-changer,' said Jason Waggenspack, President of Film Louisiana. 'With SB 232 now signed, Act 44 means we're equipped to compete with the biggest players on a global scale. It's a win for our workforce, our small businesses, and the creative economy that defines Louisiana. 'The passage of Act 44 reflects years of hard work and collaboration with industry stakeholders. It's not just policy—it's a promise to the thousands of Louisianans who earn a living through film that our state has their back. 'We and the entire board of Film Louisiana extend our sincere gratitude to Governor Jeff Landry, LED Secretary Susan Bourgeois, legislative champions, the MPA, and the many local professionals and unions that all advocated tirelessly to ensure this law became reality.'
