Part II: Narrative Explanation
II. A - Brief Description Of What The Measure Does That Has Fiscal Impact
Briefly describe by section number , the significant provisions of the bill , and any related workload or policy assumptions , that have revenue or
expenditure impact on the responding agency .
This bill creates amends current statute to make several changes to the motion picture competitiveness program and the
B&O tax credit associated with it.
Section 1 amends RCW 43.365.005 regarding legislative intent, adding the Legislature finds more investment in the film
industry will increase revenue and create family-wage jobs with benefits. With more investment in the film industry, the
state would attract bigger budget productions which would drive creation of more film support businesses and increase
the labor force as the state builds capacity.
Section 2 amends RCW 43.365.030 to change the composition and term limits for the WA motion picture competitiveness
program board of directors.
Section 3 amends RCW 43.365.020 to add that money received for the program will be used to support growth and
development through career connected learning, workforce development, and business development with a focus on
better supporting people in marginalized or rural communities.
Section 4 amends the B&O tax credit established in RCW 82.04.4489 to :
• Increase the maximum per-person B&O tax credit amount from $750,000 to $1 million per calendar year, or an amount
equal to 100% of the contributions made.
• Increase the total amount of credits available per calendar year from $3.5 million to $20 million.
• Allowing persons making contributions to the program and not otherwise receiving funding under RCW 43.365.020 to
be exempt from filing the annual tax performance report.
Section 5 amends RCW 43.365.040 to note JLARC will perform a review of the tax preference and program as required
under RCW 43.365.050 and that the motion picture competitiveness program must periodically audit and generally
monitor the survey information collected from production companies for completeness and accuracy.
Section 6 amends RCW 43.365.050 to add a specific public policy objective to increase the viability of the motion picture
and film industry and associated creative industry. The Legislature’s intent is to increase the B&O tax credit in order to
attract more motion picture and film projects, thereby increasing family wage jobs.
JLARC is instructed to make a recommendation to the fiscal committees of the Legislature by December 1, 2026,
regarding the effectiveness of the program including, but not limited to:
• The amount of state revenue generated.
• The amount and number of family-wage jobs with benefits created,
• Adherence to criteria in RCW 43.365.020.
• Changes in Washington’s share of the film employment market.
• Any other factors deemed appropriate.
JLARC is to refer to tax data collected by the Department of Revenue and the annual survey data required under RCW
43.365.040.
Section 7 repeals 2017 3rd sp. S. c 37 s 1101 (uncodified).
The bill does not provide an effective date. The date after which credit can no longer be earned remains July 1, 2027.

Part II: Narrative Explanation
II. A - Brief Description Of What The Measure Does That Has Fiscal Impact
Briefly describe, by section number, the significant provisions of the bill , and any related workload or policy assumptions , that have revenue or
expenditure impact on the responding agency .
CURRENT LAW:
Under the motion picture competitiveness program, a business and occupation (B&O) tax credit is available to those who make
contributions to a Washington motion picture competitiveness program.
The amount of credit claimed for a reporting period may not exceed the B&O tax otherwise due for that reporting period. No
person may claim more than $750,000 of credit in any calendar year, including credit carried over from a previous calendar year.
The maximum credit that may be earned for each calendar year for a person is limited to the lesser of $750,000 or an amount
equal to 100% of the contributions made by the person during the calendar year.
Tax credit earned but not claimed by the person in any calendar year may be carried over and claimed against the person's tax
liability for the next three succeeding calendar years.
The Department of Revenue (Department) must not allow any credits that would cause the total amount of credits claimed
during any calendar year to exceed $3.5 million (annual statewide cap).
No credit may be earned for contributions made on or after July 1, 2027.
PROPOSAL:
The bill amends RCW 82.04.4489 as follow :
- Increases the maximum amount of credit that can be claimed by a person in a calendar year from $750,000 to $1 million.
- Increases the maximum credit that may be earned in each calendar year for a person from $750,000 to $1 million.
- Increases the annual statewide credit cap from $3.5 million to $20 million.

picture competitiveness program are exempt from the annual reporting requirements in RCW 82.32.534 and 43.365.040.
II. B - Cash receipts Impact
Briefly describe and quantify the cash receipts impact of the legislation on the responding agency , identifying the cash receipts provisions by section
number and when appropriate the detail of the revenue sources . Briefly describe the factual basis of the assumptions and the method by which the
cash receipts impact is derived . Explain how workload assumptions translate into estimates . Distinguish between one time and ongoing functions .
ASSUMPTIONS
- The proposed statewide credit cap of $20 million will be reached annually. This assumption is based on, among other
factors, the amount of credit claimed historically, and the types of business that claimed the credit.
- It is assumed that the bill will be effective June 7, 2022.
