Disney amends lawsuit to narrow in on First Amendment claims

The lawsuit stems from a longtime legal battle with DeSantis that began when Disney publicly denounced the Florida Parental Rights in Education Act in 2022.

"This federal case will therefore address only the current Fifth Cause of Action, not at issue in the state court case: Disney’s First Amendment challenge to the retaliatory reconstitution of the Reedy Creek Improvement District," last week's filing said.
