It's one of nine bills signed by Sanford on Monday. Although some major Hollywood films have been shot in the state, the number of movies filmed here has been dropping off in recent years. Film officials say no complete feature films were shot in the state in 2003. The law provides financial incentives for crews to film in South Carolina and to employ local talent. It also provides incentives intended to help the state court television commercial production companies. Another bill signed by Sanford deals with nursing home licensing. It sets up qualifications and requires fingerprint checks to determine criminal history. » Find More Articles Related To This One Copyright 2004 WCIV, LLC.
