Romanch’s Law Moves Forward | New York City News
Description
New York City Council Speaker Julie Menin is now backing a bill to end the horse-drawn carriage industry, sparked by the tragic death of 18-year-old Romanch Mahajan who fell from a carriage during his high school graduation celebration. Dubbed Romanch’s Law, the legislation bans new licenses and phases out all carriage tours by June 2028, drawing renewed attention to safety and animal welfare concerns. Council Member Christopher Marte calls the death preventable, while Mayor Mamdani supports the bill’s intent but urges protections for workers. Union leaders push back, warning the plan overlooks livelihoods. A key hearing is set for Wednesday to debate the bill’s impact and worker provisions.
