Last Chance to Pass SB 52:
KANSAS FILM AND MEDIA TAX CREDIT
Contact your Kansas Representative and Senators
HOW TO CONTACT YOUR LEGISLATORS AND WHAT TO SAY:

The Kansas Film Tax Credit bill (Senate Bill 52) passed the Senate in 2025. The 2026 legislative session begins January 12th.  During the 2026 session it is on the floor of the Kansas House of Representatives and the bill must pass before the session ends or it is dead.

We need your help to contact your Senators and Representatives and encourage them to pass the bill.

Please make every effort to contact your Representative and Senator at their work email address and any personal email listed on the legislative website.  Their email addresses are available here:

http://www.kslegislature.org/li/b2025_26/members/

 

If you do not know your Representative or Senator, you can find them at this link:

https://openstates.org  and enter “Kansas” at “Find Your Legislators.”

 

Email is the best way to communicate, however, after the session begins, you can call using the Statehouse phone numbers at the link above.  Our communication should be targeted to your legislators, so do not send an email to all legislators. They usually do not respond to emails outside their district, although in larger metro areas you can communicate with nearby legislators.

 

Talking Point Suggestions: Be brief.

1. Identify yourself, your connection to the legislator (living in their district is the main connection), and the connection you have to the topic of film, media, and Kansas arts.

2. I support the Film Tax Credit bill, SB 52. Pass it out without changes or amendments.

3. The Governor vetoed the Film Tax Credit in 2024 and we support the film tax credit again this year.

4. Very brief description of the work you do and how the new law will impact your community and work.

   1. Sample features to mention with your personal perspective:

   2. Jobs, economic development, talent retention, and tourism.

   3. Education and workforce building new industry to keep young people in Kansas.

   4. Cost to the state is far below the revenue brought into the state.

5. Kansas cannot compete with other states. Missouri passed their law in 2023 and they are ahead of us now and we need to stay competitive.

6. Vote yes on the Film Tax Credit Bill, SB 52.
