Disney filed an amendment to its lawsuit against Gov. Ron DeSantis (R-FL) Monday, adding a land use bill and recent comments by DeSantis to its complaint.
The main addition to its complaint is a land use bill, or SB 1604, that includes an amendment nullifying the agreement Disney made with the previous Reedy Creek Improvement District board that undercut the new DeSantis-appointed board's power over the district encompassing the Walt Disney World Resort.DeSantis signed the bill into law on Friday after the state House and Senate passed it on Thursday.
"Because the Legislative Declaration and Senate Bill 1604 retaliate against Disney for its protected speech, Disney is entitled to a declaratory judgment that the Legislative Declaration and Senate Bill 1604 are unconstitutional and an order enjoining Defendants from enforcing them," reads the lawsuit.
The lawsuit now begins with a quote from DeSantis via remarks Friday, in which he stated the legislative action regarding Disney began after its condemnation of the Parental Rights in Education bill.
