Florida lawmakers are uncertain if they can override an agreement Disney made with the former Reedy Creek Improvement District board that undermines the power of the new governor-appointed board.
Members of the Central Florida Tourism Oversight District Board said they were seeking legal action and Gov. Ron DeSantis vowed that"there's more to come," but GOP state lawmakers are less certain of the agreement being nullified.“In terms of legislatively, I don’t know, but I’m fully supportive of the governor taking action," state House Speaker Paul Renner said to reporters Friday, per Florida Politics."I think what’s happened is disingenuous to say the least.
“I think we’re going to take a look at it, I’m sure, and then I think to see what they actually did. It’s too early to do anything right now and we’ve got a lot on our plate for the rest of this session, so I don’t anticipate doing anything in the near term,” Passidomo said Thursday. The"King Charles clause," as it has been dubbed by some, ensures Disney has autonomy over its Magic Kingdom until"21 years after the death of the last survivor of the descendants of King Charles III, King of England, living as of the date of this declaration."
On Wednesday, the DeSantis-appointed board announced it would be bringing in four outside law firms to void the agreement made under the previous board, while on Thursday Florida Attorney General Ashley Moody made a public records request to the Disney-appointed board members of the former Reedy Creek Improvement District.
