Lakes Area State Representative Brian Seitz is among a group of area legislators pushing to get a bill passed that would give Tax Credits for Production Companies interested in producing films and show in the state.

Seitz, during an interview last week on KRZK's "Ozarks Now" program says that similar legislation has benefit other states including Georgia and Oklahoma and would be a natural for the state, especially the Branson area with many performers and producers already calling the Lakes Area home. In addition, the Mansion Entertainment Grouped recently announced plans for production facilities which Seitz says could lead to more facilities of that type with passage of this bill. 

Seitz along with fellow Lakes Area Reps and Tourism Committee Members Brad Hudson and Travis Smith are trying to get the bill to the House Floor for consideration. 

Seitz also discussed other legislation he is supporting and also the redistricting debate currently going on in Jefferson City.

Seitz did also announce he will file for reelection to his House Seat for the upcoming election.
