Official Summary Text

AN ACT TO AMEND TITLE 29 OF THE DELAWARE CODE RELATING TO THE DELAWARE MOTION PICTURE AND TELEVISION DEVELOPMENT COMMISSION.
This Act is a substitute for and differs from Senate Bill No. 342 by making the following changes:

1. Places the Commission back under the authority of the Division of Small Business and removes references throughout the original bill to the Delaware Tourism Office.
2. Adds authority for the Commission to make recommendations for model permitting language and processes.
3. Allows the Commission to develop a film-ready database of shooting locations, provide assistance in hiring local crews, vendors, and production support, and expand the Commission’s scope to include new media and the digital media landscape.
4. Provides more clarity for what constitutes a conflict of interest by replacing “family” with “close relative” and defining the term.

This Act reorganizes the Delaware Motion Picture and Television Development Commission by increasing its membership from 9 to 11 members and modernizing the composition of the Commission to include specific industry and labor representatives.
