HB2110, the “Bringing Sitcoms Home from Hollywood Pilot Program Act,” establishes tax-incentive rebate payments for live audience episodic television in Oklahoma.

The Senate passed HB2110 on May 6, 2025, by a vote of 31 to 14. We have assigned pluses to the nays because government has absolutely no business subsidizing the entertainment industry. Multi-millionaire Hollywood producers can more than afford to pay their own taxes, and deserve no special carve-out. “Economic development” is too often simply a cliché or code word used to finance crony elite-driven “pork-barrel” projects that violate the principles of free-market enterprise. The U.S. Constitution’s Bill of Rights and 14th Amendment were written to promote the “general Welfare” of all Americans, not to pick economic “winners” and “losers.”
