Chair (Senator Allen) opened the joint committee hearing, framed the session around the newly completed Creative Economy strategic plan "California's Future Is Creative," and cited sector-scale numbers (nearly 1,000,000 creative jobs and roughly $300 billion in economic impact). She noted parallel budget activity (the May revise and appropriation committee work) and urged funding for priorities including creative districts, Prop 28 implementation, public media, and a proposed post-production tax credit (AB 2319).
