A program to help bring movie shoots to Colorado is a step closer to heading to theaters.
The Colorado House gave preliminary approval Monday to a bill that would allow the Colorado Film Commission to collect donations from moviegoers for incentive programs for filmmakers.
The bill passed unanimously on a voice vote. The original bill would have added a 10-cent fee to movie tickets, but the fee became optional after some complained it was an unfair tax hike.
House Bill 1207 needs one more vote in the House before heading to the Senate. If approved, movie theaters would not be required to place collection boxes, and moviegoers would not be required to donate.
