(Reuters) – Florida lawmakers are planning to reverse a move that would strip Walt Disney (NYSE:) Co. of its right to operate a private government around its theme parks, the Financial Times reported on Friday, citing people briefed on the plan.
The lawmakers in April gave approval to a bill ending Disney’s designation as a self-governing entity in an apparent response to its opposition to a new state law limiting the teaching of LGBTQ issues in schools.
