In 2022, California voted to pass SB 485, which revised the state’s film tax credits legislation to introduce a new credit which could only be receive if a given project provided “a diversity workplan that includes goals that are broadly reflective of California’s population.”

According to the 2020 Census, California’s racial demographics are 41% White alone, 6% Black alone, 40% Hispanic, 15%Asian alone, 1.6% American Indian and Alaska Native alone, 0.4% Native Hawaiian and Other Pacific Islander alone, 21.2% Some Other Race alone, and 10.2% individuals whose ethnicity is composed of two or more races.
Under the bill, an appointed commission would be prohibited “from certifying the tax credit for an applicant […] until the commission receives the applicant’s final diversity report.”
Additionally, said commission would be authorized “to increase the applicant’s credit percentage if the commission determines that the applicant has met or made a good faith effort to meet the diversity goals in its diversity workplan.”

While the original bill held no specific penalties for productions that failed to meet these goals, the state’s Democrat governor, Gavin Newsom, is now seeking to provide the state with the tools needed to enforce these new rules.
As per the state’s 2023-2024 Film Tax Credit budget proposal, submitted by the Governor’s office on February 28th, whereas a previous budget packet included a blanket allocation of “$150 million in film tax credits for productions that are filmed at new or renovated soundstages”, this credit is now being withheld unless the given production is instituting “ethnic, racial, and gender diversity goals and to develop a plan to achieve those diversity goals.”

“Productions are eligible to receive an additional 4 percent tax credit if they meet or make a good faith effort to meet their diversity goals,” the Governor’s office added.
Should this proposal be adopted, it will remain in effect throughout the rest of the current Tax Credit’s effective lifespan in 2025 – though lawmakers are currently working on extending this end date to 2030.

California’s new proposal is but the latest example of the ongoing trend of introducing DEI quotas to entertainment.
Last year, British Television giant ITV is set aside £80 million ($105 million) to promote productions companies that promote disability and race-based content.
“ITV is committed to creating content by, with, and for everyone, connecting and reflecting modern audiences,” said ITV Group Diversity and Inclusion Director Ade Rawcliffe “We want more people of color and disabled people to be able to tell their stories and get opportunities in senior production roles.
