Florida Senate approves bill revoking Disney's special self-governing status

The Florida Senate on Wednesday passed a bill removing Disney's special self-governing and tax status after the company criticized Florida's parental rights bill.

The bill passed 23-16 during a special session that Florida Republican Gov. Ron DeSantis called.

The legislation now heads to the Republican-controlled Florida House.

Disney has not commented on the bill as of publication.

"Disney is learning that they are a guest in this state," Florida state Rep. Randy Fine told Newsmax.

Reedy Creek Improvement District would be affected by the bill.

The special district may be reestablished on or after June 1, 2023, if the area follows Florida legal requirements.
