The bill would require that television and film production companies reimburse a state agency or other state governmental entity for any costs incurred by the agency or other state governmental entity as a result of the use of a state building or grounds by the company. This would result in no significant fiscal impact to the state.
The bill would require the office to determine a daily fee to be charged to a production company; however the office may allow each state building or grounds to be used without charge for seven days per fiscal year. The bill would require fees collected from production companies be deposited to the General Revenue Fund.
This analysis assumes a $1,000 per day fee for commercials and a $500 per day fee for films and episodic television. Based on film, television, and commercial production projects in Texas in fiscal year 2006, it is estimated that total film and television projects will use state buildings and grounds for 50 days annually and total commercial projects will use state buildings and grounds for 50 days annually. This would result in an annual revenue gain to General Revenue of $50,000 for film and television projects and $25,000 for commercial projects.
