2002 House Bill 6066

House Roll Call 800: Passed

To establish the Michigan Film Advisory Commission and a state Film Commissioner. The commission board would have 15 members, 13 appointed by the Governor, one by the House Speaker, and one by the Senate Majority Leader. Of the governor's appointees there would be five with film or TV experience, two representing theater owners, of which one must represent large “multiplex” theatres, two from film or TV unions, three from the public at large. Members would not be paid, but would be reimbursed for expenses attending meetings or performing other commission business. The commission would seek to promote TV and movie production in Michigan. The Department of History, Arts, and Libraries would be authorized to enter into agreements with other units of state government to accomplish this.
