Amendment of Municipal Code Section 3-32-040 authorizing accredited production certificate holders to be exempt from certain taxes
Chicago's ordinance, under the Illinois Constitution, supports the film and TV industry, bolstered by the 2008 Tax Credit Act. With a $700,000,000 economic impact, 20,000 jobs, and 51% of crews being women and minorities, the Municipal Code of Chicago was amended to align taxes and incentives, retroactive to January 1, 2025, for further industry support.
