SB 286 New Hampshire Senate · 2025 Regular Session

creating the New Hampshire office of film and creative media.

SB 286 would create a new New Hampshire Office of Film and Creative Media within the state government. This office would directly support film production companies, creative businesses, and artists in the state by providing resources, promotion, and potentially grant programs. The bill’s key mechanism is establishing this dedicated state entity to coordinate and advance the film and creative media industry. However, the bill was declared "inexpedient to legislate" by the Senate on October 31, 2025, meaning it did not advance to become law.
