TALLAHASSEE, Fla. — Gov. Ron DeSantis would appoint all the board members of Disney World’s Reedy Creek Improvement District under a House bill filed for the special session that began Monday.
The measure also would rename Reedy Creek the Central Florida Tourism Oversight District within two years.
The district remains intact, and its outstanding debt, contracts and tax collection would not be affected, according to the bill, backing DeSantis’ statements that Orange and Osceola counties would not be responsible for Reedy Creek’s $1 billion debt.
