To deal with runaway production, state legislators are proposing two bills that would not only raise the cap for California's film and TV tax credit program but also expand eligibility for productions.

A proposed bill aims to keep bears away from populated areas by using dogs to scare them off, but not everyone agrees with the approach.

Two proposals would reimburse homeowners in wildfire zones for making their roofs and yards more resistant to blazes.

California state lawmakers have announced a bill that would ban the sale of new or refurbished disposable electronic cigarettes.

California lawmakers plan to make the state’s film and TV incentive more lucrative for individual productions, while doubling the overall size of the program. At a press conference on Wednesday, lawmakers announced two companion bills — AB 1138 and SB 630 — to make the state’s program more competitive with other states.

Two bills were introduced Wednesday aimed at strengthening the current film and tax credit program in California, this follows Governor Gavin Newsom’s announcement this past fall to more than double the annual tax incentive cap to $750 million a year.
