Ron DeSantis, the governor of Florida, signed a bill on Monday that gives him control of Walt Disney World’s self-governing district, punishing the company over its opposition to a state law that restricts sexual orientation and gender identity discussions in schools.

“The corporate kingdom finally comes to an end,” DeSantis said during a press event at Lake Buena Vista near Orlando. “There’s a new sheriff in town, and accountability will be the order of the day.”

DeSantis has had a recently contentious relationship with The Walt Disney Company after its former CEO Bob Chapek publicly opposed the state's Florida Parental Rights in Education Act – then a bill, now law – which prevents classroom discussion about sexual orientation or gender identity in certain grade levels, among other requirements.

DeSantis then called a special session to discuss the possible dissolution of the Reedy Creek Improvement District, an independent district that allowed Disney to essentially self-govern itself.

The Florida House and Senate passed HB9 earlier this month, which would eventually rename the district to the "Central Florida Tourism Oversight District," and would allow the state governor to appoint a five-member Board of Supervisors to manage the district.

During Monday's press conference, DeSantis announced the people he appointed to the Board.
