The Florida House passed a land-use bill that includes a provision nullifying an agreement Disney made with the previous Reedy Creek Improvement District board. The agreement undercut the power of the new state-appointed board.
The bill passed by a 75-34 vote in the House after passing by a 27-13 margin in the Florida Senate last week and is expected to be signed into law by Gov. Ron DeSantis .The bill was amended last month to include a provision to allow"an independent special district" to be"precluded from complying" with agreements made in the three months before the modifying of laws on how the governing body selects members.
"The newly elected or appointed governing body of the independent special district shall review within 4 months of taking office any development agreement and any other agreement for which the development agreement serves in whole or part as consideration and, after such review, shall vote on whether to seek readoption of such agreement," the bill continues.
DeSantis pledged to use legislative action and nullification by the board based on one of the"legal infirmities" in the agreement to achieve his goal. The Central Florida Tourism Oversight District board voted to nullify the agreement between Disney and the former board, which did not permit the board to make most changes without permission from the Walt Disney Company.
The lawsuit alleges the state violated Disney's First Amendment right to free speech, the contract and takings clauses in the Constitution, and the company's 14th Amendment right to due process.
