Ephesians 6:13 “Therefore take up the whole armor of God, that you may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand firm.”
Important Takeaways:
- Florida House votes 68-38 to strip Disney of privileged tax and self-governing status: Woke conglomerate pays the price for publicly bashing Governor Ron DeSantis’ ‘Don’t Say Gay’ bill
- The House passed the measure with a 68-38 vote after the Senate backed the bill by 23-16 the day before
- The legislation will now go to DeSantis’ desk for signing and could come into effect on June 1, 2023
- DeSantis previously said he wanted to remove Disney’s protections because he doesn’t ‘support special privileges in law just because a company is powerful’
- The House on Thursday also approved a Senate-passed bill that removes Disney’s big tech censorship exemption.
- Disney did not immediately respond to DailyMail.com’s request for comment on the changes and it remains unclear if the company will launch an appeal, but the vote sets up a potential legal battle between the state and the entertainment giant.
