.GovRonDeSantis signs bill restructuring district encompassing Walt Disney World
DeSantis says the changes dissolve Disney's"corporate kingdom" while also putting it under oversight of the state government via a new state-appointed board."Allowing a corporation to control its own government is bad policy, especially when the corporation makes decisions that impact an entire region,” DeSantis said.
The bill also changes the name of the Reedy Creek Improvement District to the"Central Florida Tourism Oversight District." DeSantis reevaluated Disney's control over the Reedy Creek Improvement District after the company publicly spoke out against the state's Parental Rights in Education bill. After more pressure from activists within the company, Disney publicly called out the Florida government over the bill.
