PETERSBURG, FL – 23 organizations signed on to a letter urging Governor DeSantis to veto HB 267/SB 426 if it is voted up, legislation that would create preemptions for home rule over seaports. Ocean Conservancy and a group of 22 other organizations today urged Governor DeSantis to exercise his veto authority on a key home rule issue if it is sent to his desk. The existing legislation is written so broadly that it would prevent local governments and port authorities from establishing regulations that would restrict emissions from the shipping and cruise line industries in their home waterways.
