The state's economic development department wants to remove a $500,000 limit on film incentives offered to major motion picture productions in Utah.
Jason Perry, executive director of the Governor's Office of Economic Development, says removing the cap will allow Utah to compete with other states in luring movie productions here.
He will present lawmakers with a proposal on Wednesday.
Under the proposal, the Utah Tax Review Commission would re-evaluate the program every five years to determine its effectiveness.
