This bill mandates the establishment of a New Jersey Film Trail by the Division of Travel and Tourism within the Department of State. The Film Trail aims to highlight locations across the state where popular movies, television shows, and other entertainment productions were filmed, explicitly excluding private residences from being identified as filming sites. The Division, in collaboration with the Motion Picture and Television Development Commission, will select these filming locations and create official markers that detail the production history of each site, including the title of the production, the performers involved, and the filming dates. The bill also stipulates that the Division will not use public funds for markers on private property and will seek private funding for related expenses.

Additionally, the bill requires the Division to develop and maintain an interactive website that provides comprehensive information about the Film Trail. This website will include searchable listings and maps of filming locations, driving directions, tour information, photographs, and descriptions of the filming that took place at each site. The Division is also tasked with creating vacation itineraries that highlight nearby attractions, restaurants, and accommodations for visitors. The website will be regularly updated to reflect new filming locations and will accept public submissions for potential additions to the Film Trail, ensuring that the information remains current and engaging for tourists.
