Rule R357-5
Motion Picture Incentive Fund
Five-Year Notice of Review and Statement of Continuation
DAR File No.: 40483
Filed: 06/09/2016 02:27:51 PM
NOTICE OF REVIEW AND STATEMENT OF CONTINUATION
Concise explanation of the particular statutory provisions under which the rule is enacted and how these provisions authorize or require the rule:
Section 63N-8-104 requires the office to make rules establishing the standards that a motion picture company and digital media company must meet to qualify for a motion picture incentive and the criteria for determining the amount of the motion picture incentive under Title 63N, Chapter 8, of the Utah Code Annotated.
Summary of written comments received during and since the last five-year review of the rule from interested persons supporting or opposing the rule:
The rule has received several comments regarding the need for more detail for the criteria for selecting film projects and how the amount of the tax credit is determined. Otherwise, the rule has not received any additional comments.
Reasoned justification for continuation of the rule, including reasons why the agency disagrees with comments in opposition to the rule, if any:
The rule should be continued at this time because it does contain several basic criteria for how to qualify for the tax credit. The agency has filed a repeal and reenactment of this rule to address the comments. The new rule contains more criteria and the specific criteria that will be used to assess projects and potential award amounts. However, the agency does want to continue the current rule to be in effect until the new version becomes effective.
