On the 22nd in Florida, the southern United States, a law was passed to abolish the special zone system including tax incentives for Walt Disney, which operates a popular theme park in the state.
American media reports retaliation for Disney in opposition to state law on conservative sex education.
On the 22nd in Florida, Governor DeSantis signed a bill to abolish the special zone system including tax incentives that had been granted so far for Walt Disney, which operates the popular theme park "Disney World" in the state. It was established.
It will be abolished from June 1st next year.
Special zones have been stipulated by state law since the 1960s, and Disney has been given autonomy over the development of vast facilities and public works projects.
At the signing ceremony of the bill, Republican Governor DeSantis said, "This was really unusual. No individual or company would be treated this way in Florida."
Discrimination against sexual minorities was passed last month in Florida, led by the Republican Party, which emphasizes conservative values, to regulate the topic of sexual orientation and gender identity in elementary school classes. There was criticism that it could encourage people, and Disney also expressed opposition.
American media reports that this measure is a retaliation against Disney.
