If it's that big of a deal to the shareholders, then the shareholders are free to opt out, or hold a special meeting and take a vote. There's no reason the Florida legislature needs to impose legislation that affects only 5 out of over 1400 special districts in the state, to halt something that the shareholders care about. Especially since most of the shareholders of Disney aren't Florida residents.

This isn't about shareholders. It's about political statements that some folks in the Florida government don't like.
