5. Nothing will be done on a state level. Any pressure on Tallahassee will be from the counties.

If Disney decides to end the extensive public services it now provides in various forms and place it on the counties of Orange and Osceola, then the counties will be facing a substantial reorganization with a very short time to do it. The law takes effect in June of 2023.

Among other things, Reedy Creek Improvement District oversees land use and environmental protections within its boundaries, and provides essential public services (e.g. fire protection, emergency medical services, potable water production, treatment, storage, pumping & distribution, reclaimed water distribution, chilled and hot water systems, wastewater services, drainage and flood control, electric power generation & distribution, and solid waste and recyclables collection & disposal)
