expenditures made for the purchase, rental or lease of personal property or s ervices 4
from a Nevada business. (NRS 360.758 -360.7598) This bill revises provisions 5
governing these transferable tax credits and enacts the Nevada Film Infrastructure, 6
Workforce Development, Education and Economic Diversification Act to authorize 7
film infrastructure transferable tax credits for qualified productions produced at the 8
Nevada Studios Project at the Harry Reid Research and Technology Park, which is 9
owned by the University of Nevada, Las Vegas Research Foundation. 10
Sections 1-18 of this bill enact the Nevada Film Infrastructure, Workforce 11
Development, Education and Economic Diversification Act, which provides for 12
film infrastructure transferable tax credits to be issued to production companies that 13
produce qualified productions, in whole or in part, at the Nevada Studios Project, as 14
defined in section 8. Section 10 requires the Office of Economic Development to 15
enter into a development agreement with the lead participant for the Project and to 16
establish certain criteria that the Project is required to satisfy in exchange for 17
production companies located at the Project to be eligible for film infrastructure 18
transferable tax credits. Section 12: (1) authorizes a production company located at 19
the Project that has obtained the written approval of the lead participant under 20
section 11 to apply for film infrastructure transferable tax credits for qualified 21
productions produced, in whole or in part, at the Project; and (2) authorizes such 22
credits to be used against the modified business tax, insurance premium tax or 23
gaming license fee, or any combination of these taxes and fees. Section 13 24
establishes the qualified direct production expenditures which are the basis for 25
calculating the amount of film infrastructure transferable tax credits, includi ng, 26
without limitation, purchases, leases and rentals of property or services from a 27
Nevada business, wages and fringe benefits paid to employees who are Nevada 28
residents for services on the qualified production, certain fees paid to producers and 29
amounts paid to certain corporations or companies for the services of certain 30
persons on the qualified production. Section 14 provides that the base amount of 31
film infrastructure transferable tax credits is the sum of: (1) 35 percent of the 32
qualified direct production expenditures paid to Nevada residents for services in 33
connection with the qualified production; and (2) 30 percent of the amount of all 34
other qualified direct production expenditures. Under section 14: (1) the amount of 35
film infrastructure transferable tax credits for which a production company is 36
eligible is reduced by specified percentages if, after certain periods, the number of 37
Nevada residents who are below -the-line personnel of the qualified production is 38
less than certain percentages; (2) film infrastructure transferable tax credits may be 39
reduced by the amount of any damages incurred by the State or a political 40
subdivision of this State as a result of a qualified production; and (3) film 41
infrastructure transferable tax credits may be withheld for certain violations of law. 42
Section 15: (1) establishes the maximum amount of film infrastructure transferable 43
tax credits that may be issued pursuant to sections 1-18 during each 12 -month 44
period of the development period and for each fiscal year thereafter; (2) authorizes 45
50 percent of the am ount of film infrastructure transferable tax credits that are 46
authorized for the development period or for a fiscal year following the 47
development period, but are not approved, to be carried forward and made available 48
for approval in subsequent fiscal year s; and (3) prohibits the issuance of film 49
infrastructure transferable tax credits for a fiscal year that begins more than 15 50
years after the Project receives its first certificate of occupancy. Section 16 51
establishes the time within which a production company that produces a qualified 52
production is required to submit to the Office and the Department of Taxation any 53
audits or other information required to det ermine the eligibility of the production 54
company for film infrastructure transferable tax credits. Section 17 requires a 55
production company to repay film infrastructure transferable tax credits under 56

certain circumstances. Section 18 requires certain reports to be made to the 57
Governor and the Legislature concerning film infrastructure transferable tax credits. 58
Sections 19-24 of this bill make various changes to the existing law governing 59
the noninfrastructure transferable tax credits for motion picture and other qualified 60
productions. (NRS 360.758 -360.7598) Section 19: (1) provides that digital media 61
productions are qualified productions for the purposes of eligibility for film 62
infrastructure transferable tax credits and noninfrastructure transferable tax cre dits; 63
and (2) clarifies that media productions solely produced for social media are not 64
eligible for such transferable tax credits. Section 20 revises cert ain criteria for a 65
qualified production to be eligible for noninfrastructure transferable tax credits. 66
Section 21 increases the base amount of noninfrastr ucture transferable tax credits 67
for an application submitted in each fiscal year beginning on or after July 1, 2025, 68
and ending before July 1, 2043, from 15 percent of the qualified direct production 69
expenditures to the sum of: (1) 35 percent of the qualif ied direct production 70
expenditures paid to Nevada residents for services in connection with the qualified 71
production; and (2) 30 percent of the amount of all other qualified direct production 72
expenditures. Section 21 also requires reductions to that base amount under certain 73
circumstances. Section 22 temporarily increases from $10,000,000 to $15,000,000 74
the total amount of noninfrastructure transferable tax credits for motion picture and 75
other qualified productions that may be issued under the existing program for each 76
fiscal year beginning on or after July 1, 2028, until June 30, 2043. Section 23 77
makes conforming changes to update a reference that was renumbered in section 20 78
and to consistently refer to the existing program of transferable tax credits as 79
noninfrastructure transferable tax credits. Section 24 makes conforming changes so 80
that the information required to be reported by the Office concerning 81
noninfrastructure transferable tax credits is similar to the information required to be 82
reported by the Office concerning film infrastructure transferable tax credits. 83
Sections 25-32 of this bill establish a program to pay certain costs related to the 84
Nevada Media and Technology Lab and to provide grants to certain organizations 85
that provide education and vocational training for workforce development for the 86
production of motion picture and other qualified productions. Section 30 creates 87
the Account for Nevada Film, Media and Related Technology Education and 88
Vocational Training for the purpose of paying certain costs related to the Nevada 89
Media and Technology Lab and to make grants to certain entities and organizations 90
that provide education and vocational training for such workforce development. 91
Sections 12 and 20 require a production company that is issued tran sferable tax 92
credits for a qualified production to pay to the Office an amount of money equal to 93
10 percent of the amount of transferable tax credits issued to the qualified 94
production, and require the Office to deposit that money with the State Treasurer 95
for credit to the Account. Section 31 creates and provides for the composition of 96
the Board for Nevada Film, Media and Related Technology Education and 97
Vocational Training within the Office of Economic Development. Section 32 98
requires the Board to: (1) establish the procedures for a person or entity to apply for 99
a grant of money from the Account, the criteria to be used to determine whether to 100
approve an application for a grant from the Account to an applicant and the 101
requirements for reports by recipients of such grants concerning the use of the 102
grants; (2) prohibits the m aking of a grant from the Account unless the Board 103
approves the application for the grant; and (3) requires a recipient of a grant from 104

THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF NEVADA, REPRESENTED IN
SENATE AND ASSEMBLY, DO ENACT AS FOLLOWS:

Section 1. This act may be cited as the Nevada Film 1
Infrastructure, Workforce Development, Education and Economic 2
Diversification Act. 3
Sec. 2. 1. The Legislature hereby finds and declares that: 4
(a) The Las Vegas Metropolitan Area is the largest metropolitan 5
area in this St ate and has a need to improve the education and 6
training of the workforce in the Las Vegas Metropolitan Area and to 7
diversify the economy of the Area, as indicated by the impact of the 8
COVID-19 pandemic on the Area. The Harry Reid Research and 9
Technology Park has been identified as a location in the Las Vegas 10
Metropolitan Area for a project that can address the needs of the Las 11
Vegas Metropolitan Area for workforce education and training and 12
economic diversification. 13
(b) Land at the Harry Reid Research and Technology Park will 14
be allocated for an educational and vocational training center, to be 15
known as the Nevada Media and Technology Lab, which will 16
provide workforce development, education and economic 17
diversification by providing career pathways in film, video game 18
publishing, defense, health care and other industries identified by 19
the UNLV Research Foundation through the Creative Technology 20
Initiative at the University of Nevada, Las Vegas , and the Video 21
Game Publishing Design Program Initiative at the U niversity of 22
Nevada, Las Vegas. 23
(c) Land at the Harry Reid Research and Technology Park will 24
also be allocated for large -scale facilities for the location of 25
companies that produce motion pictures and other qualified 26
productions in this State, which will create high-paying jobs in that 27
industry and diversify the economy of the Las Vegas Metropolitan 28
Area and this State as a whole. 29
(d) Because the Las Vegas Metropolitan Area and the Harry 30
Reid Research and Technology Park is the only area in this State 31
that is appropriate and suitable for the Nevada Media and 32
Technology Lab and the development of large -scale projects to 33
develop large -scale facilities for the location of companies that 34
produce motion pictures and other qualified productions and has all 35
the special attributes, conditions and resources that are essential to 36
support such facilities, it is necessary to enact a law of local and 37
special application to promote, develop and secure the advantages of 38
the local and special characteristics and circums tances within the 39
Las Vegas Metropolitan Area, which are found nowhere else in this 40
State, and to benefit the residents of the Las Vegas Metropolitan 41
Area. 42

indirect and induced economic bene fits of such productions in this 14
State, the enactment of the Act will achieve a bona fide social or 15
economic purpose and the economic benefits of the issuance of the 16
transferable tax credits to encourage the location of large -scale 17
facilities for the produ ction of motion pictures and other qualified 18
productions in this State are expected to exceed any adverse effect 19
of the transferable tax credits on the revenue raised for the provision 20
of services to the public by the State or a local government. 21
