TALLAHASSEE – A federal choose will hear arguments Dec. 12 on requests by Gov. Ron DeSantis and a revamped Central Florida particular district to dismiss a significant-profile lawsuit submitted by Walt Disney Parks and Vacation resort.
U.S. District Decide Allen Winsor will maintain a hearing in Tallahassee in the case, which centers on allegations that the condition unconstitutionally retaliated versus Disney because of the firm’s opposition to a controversial schooling regulation.
Attorneys for DeSantis and the Central Florida Tourism Oversight District filed motions in September to dismiss the circumstance. They dispute that a final decision by DeSantis and lawmakers to exchange the previous Reedy Creek Enhancement District with the Central Florida Tourism Oversight District was retaliation that violated Disney’s Very first Modification legal rights.
The a long time-outdated Reedy Creek district was closely aligned with Disney, though DeSantis appointed the new district’s board. Disney submitted the lawsuit in April and submitted a revised version in September.
DeSantis and Disney commenced clashing in 2022 right after company officials opposed a new law that restricted instruction about sexual orientation and gender identity in colleges.
