Florida Senate passes bill to dissolve Disney's self-governing status State gave entertainment giant special district in 1967

Amid Disney's opposition to a new Florida parental-rights law, the state's Senate on Wednesday passed a bill promoted by Republican Gov. Ron DeSantis that would eliminate the special taxing district that enables the entertainment giant to self-govern its theme-park area.

The 23-16 vote in the Republican-majority chamber sends the bill to the state House.

Disney's special district was established by state law in 1967, enabling the company to collect taxes and provide emergency services in a 25,000-acre area near Orlando. Within the zone, known as the Reedy Creek Improvement District, Disney can build new structures and pay impact fees without the need to obtain approval from a local planning commission.

All of that would end June 1 if the bill passes.
