Florida legislators proposed an amendment to make the monorail system at the WaltDisneyWorld Resort subject to state inspections as the board of the district encompassing the resort moves to void an agreement that undermined its power.
The amendment was attached, by Republican state Sen. Nick DiCeglie, on Monday to a transportation bill, Senate Bill 1250, which would authorize funding for projects in rural parts of the state and an automated license plate recognition system on state highways, among other matters.
Gov. Ron DeSantis teased last week that the state would be taking action to subject the resort's monorail system and attractions to state inspection, saying it would put Disney in line with other amusement parks in the Sunshine State. The introduction of the amendment comes as the board of the Central Florida Tourism Oversight District is set to declare an agreement between the previous Reedy Creek Improvement District and Disney void. Lawyers for the board have argued the agreement did not properly comply with state sunshine laws.
