HOUSE CONCURRENT RESOLUTION NO. 69
(By Delegates Amores, Brown, Webb, Webster,
Perry, Walters and Pino)
[Introduced March 3, 2004; referred to the
Committee on Rules.]
Requesting the Joint Committee on Government and Finance to study
the development of the West Virginia Film Commission, the
development of intellectual properties and other mechanisms to
encourage the film industry to conduct business in West
Virginia.
Whereas, a majority of the multi-billion dollar US Film
Industry's business is conducted outside of Hollywood; and
Whereas, creating infrastructure for the film industry in West
Virginia can have tremendous positive impact on the economy of West
Virginia through job growth, advertising and tourism; and
Whereas, the leadership of this state has been supportive of an
effort to secure this business for West Virginia; and
Whereas, the citizens of West Virginia can provide a reliable
and talented workforce for the industry; and
whereas, other states have been successful in this undertaking;
therefore, be it
Resolved by the Legislature of West Virginia:
That the Joint Committee on Government and Finance is hereby
requested to study; and, be it
Further Resolved, That the Joint Committee on Government and
Finance report to the regular session of the Legislature, 2005, on
its findings, conclusions and recommendations, together with the
drafts of any legislation necessary to effectuate its
recommendations; and, be it
Further Resolved, That the expenses necessary to conduct this
study, to prepare a report and to draft necessary legislation be
paid from legislative appropriations to the Joint Committee on
Government and Finance.
