Colorado is looking to create more jobs in the "creative industries" of the state, and one bill being proposed could have an impact on video game productions.

A bill unveiled on Tuesday would make it easier for producers to earn tax credits for filming in the state by removing the requirement that 75 percent of the film's non-payroll budget be spent in Colorado, according to [URL=http://www.thedenverdailynews.com/article.php?aID=6872]an article in the Denver Daily News[/URL].

The bill also would "clarify that incentives may be used for commercial and video game productions as well." The state has a $300,000 incentive fund for the film industry, which could be used for jobs in the games industry.

The creative sector is the fifth largest industry in Colorado, and a state panel had been examining ways to expand it.
