Sen. Adam Schiff has drafted a bill to create a federal incentive for film and TV production, but said Friday that he still working to gain Republican co-sponsors.

Schiff held a hearing at Burbank City Hall to build support for the measure, noting that Los Angeles County has lost 42,000 entertainment jobs in the last two years.

“These are great jobs and we want to keep them here at home,” he said. “It’s not rocket science how we do that. It’s largely drafted. It needs to be bipartisan. We are working to gather bipartisan support for this.”
