Group asks Gov. DeSantis to veto measure preempting local cruise ship regulations Image via AP. The Ron DeSantis to veto a bill that would undo those and other local regulations. Last November, Key West voters approved three referendums to limit the size of cruise ships docking there and increase environmental quality. During this year’s Legislative Session, lawmakers approved a measure that would block local ballot initiatives regulating vessel sizes in any of Florida’s 15 seaports. The bill also bars initiatives aiming to assess a cruise company’s environmental records, something the Key West ballot measures did as well. “The bill would now undo three local City of Key West referendums that each passed with a supermajority over 60% during the 2020 election,” read a letter from the Key West Committee for Safer, Cleaner Ships to the Governor.
