AN ACT CONCERNING THE DEPARTMENT OF ECONOMIC AND COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT'S RECOMMENDATIONS FOR REVISIONS TO THE COMMERCE STATUTES AND PROHIBITING SCHOLARSHIP DISPLACEMENT FOR CERTAIN STUDENTS AT PUBLIC INSTITUTIONS OF HIGHER EDUCATION.

Summary

The bill makes the Department of Economic and Community Development, through its Office of Film, Television and Digital Media, the statewide point of contact for producers who want to film on state‑owned property, and it establishes a permit process that shields the state from liability. It also revises the rules for data‑center projects, requiring a minimum $50 million or $200 million investment, a 20‑year agreement, and an annual administrative fee. The changes are intended to streamline filming approvals and encourage large‑scale data‑center development.
