H 3187 Massachusetts House · 194th Legislature (2025-2026)

An Act recognizing film production in Massachusetts

This bill requires motion pictures filmed in Massachusetts to include a specific credit and logo in their opening or closing titles. The credit must state "Proudly Made in Massachusetts" and display a logo approved by the Massachusetts film office and commissioner. It directly affects film productions shot within the state, mandating this standardized acknowledgment as a condition of their credits. The policy change is procedural, focusing solely on visible recognition of filming location without altering tax incentives or production requirements.
