Montana Legislature frames media tax credits plan for coming years

Montana Media Coalition

Big Sky Country has seen an increase in commercial media productions – including “Yellowstone” – since the 2019 passage of the Media Act. In the 2025 Montana Legislative Session, lawmakers backed a bill that would see the tax credits continue, although with some changes.

Senate Bill 326, sponsored by Sen. Greg Hertz, R-Polson, maintains the current $12 million a year allotment for the MEDIA Act tax credits and extends the program through 2045.
