CA SB756

Requires the California Film Commission to integrate additional data collection requirements into the existing motion picture tax credit framework, including demographic data on disability status, veteran status, and voluntarily provided LGBTQ+ status for all hired employees

Mandates collection of aggregate ZIP Code hiring data (voluntarily reported) to assess local workforce impacts and apprenticeship/trainee utilization reports showing inclusion of underrepresented groups in film production trades

Directs the commission to work with industry stakeholders, payroll companies, and subject matter experts to develop standardized reporting templates, definitions, and protocols that align with existing payroll systems while protecting employee privacy

Requires publication of an annual compliance report summarizing collected data, diversity trends, economic impact, and recommendations for program improvements on the commission's website

Becomes operative only upon appropriation by the Legislature, with noncompliance addressed through existing tax credit enforcement procedures rather than creating new penalties or reducing credit amounts
