Pittsburgh City Council passes film-permit legislation

Post-Gazette: After months of amendments and drafts, Pittsburgh City Council unanimously passed an ordinance Tuesday that “sets clear guidelines for permitting of major motion pictures, television and commercial productions,” Councilwoman Darlene Harris’ office said. 

Mrs. Harris’ ordinance, modeled after the California Film Commission, requires a city-issued permit for most types of major filming and directs the mayor’s office to develop regulations for processing and issuance of the permits, with notification for businesses and residents, traffic control, street closures and other criteria.
