Privilege for a Private Corporation

The Florida Constitution prohibits the legislature from granting a privilege to a private corporation. "There shall be no special law or general law of local application pertaining to ... private incorporation or grant of privilege to a private corporation." Article III, Section 11(a)(12). This has a conceptual similarity to rules in some states against government taking private property from one to give to another.
The Virginia Constitution has a similar prohibition against granting a privilege to a private corporation.
