In a stunning turn-around, a state bill designed to overturn a Key West referendum limiting the size of cruise ships and their passenger count may have died Tuesday after the bill was amended to include all Florida seaports. Just hours before the bill was slated for a last legislative floor vote before going to Gov. Ron DeSantis for final consideration, the billâs sponsor, Rep. Spencer Roach, R-Lee County, added an amendment that gave the state control of cruise ships in all 15 deep water seaports in Florida. The previous bill iteration gave the state control only in Key West and would have overturned the results of the cityâs referendum last November when cruise ship size restrictions were overwhelmingly approved by voters.
