The legislation is named after <span class=\"link\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbsnews.com\/newyork\/news\/central-park-horse-carriage-overturns\/\" target=\"_blank\" data-invalid-url-rewritten-http=\"\">Romanch Mahajan<\/a><\/span>, 18, who died during a <span class=\"link\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbsnews.com\/newyork\/news\/central-park-horse-carriage-overturns\/\" target=\"_blank\" data-invalid-url-rewritten-http=\"\">carriage accident<\/a><\/span> in June in Central Park.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;We want to make sure Romanch&#8217;s death was not in vain,&#8221; Saggar Chadha, the attorney for Romanch&#8217;s family said. &#8220;Not just for Romanch, but so no one else is killed or injured by horse-drawn carriages in New York City.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The bill is now headed to Mayor Zohran Mamdani to sign.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The mayor will sign this bill, and the Mamdani administration is working every day to ensure we can do so while providing the strongest possible protections for the owners and workers in this industry,&#8221; Mamdani&#8217;s office said in a statement to CBS News New York on Thursday night.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;With a majority of the Council behind us, we have a historic opportunity to protect New Yorkers, visitors, workers, and animals, and we intend to finish the job,&#8221; council member Christopher Marte said prior to the vote.<\/p>\n<p>The law is making history, as the carriages have been part of the park since its inception more than 160 years ago. It&#8217;s ending operations in June 2028, with a transition plan for workers and owners required in 2027. The bill also calls for the\u00a0<span class=\"link\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbsnews.com\/newyork\/news\/carriage-horse-union-city-council-letter\/\" target=\"_blank\" data-invalid-url-rewritten-http=\"\">humane placement<\/a><\/span> of animals.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"link\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbsnews.com\/newyork\/news\/horse-carriage-ban-nyc-council-vote\/\" target=\"_blank\" data-invalid-url-rewritten-http=\"\">Carriage owners<\/a><\/span> and their families are arguing, however, that the plan doesn&#8217;t go far enough. They rallied outside City Hall Wednesday and Thursday to push back. One family said they have spent nearly a century building their business.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I invested $400,000 two years ago to expand my father&#8217;s dream, and you&#8217;re coming here to steal it,&#8221; owner Francesco Riccobono said.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;We are asking for fairness. We are asking for compassion. We are asking for a seat at the table,&#8221; said his wife, Natalie.<\/p>\n<p>The Transport Workers Union said it is prepared to challenge the ban in federal court. TWU lawyer Ben Kallos said he believes a judge will overturn the legislation.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;They were supposed to figure out what the economic impact was. It&#8217;s required by the city charter, and if you pull the economic impact analysis, it&#8217;s blank,&#8221; he said.<\/p>\n<p>City Council Speaker Julie Menin said in an interview with NY1 that the ban is necessary to protect animals and public safety.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Forty-two million people use Central Park each and every year, and the horse carriages are operating in a very crowded area. We&#8217;ve had numerous accidents that have happened where horses have been spooked; they&#8217;ve broken free,&#8221; she said.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Menin said it has been a long-time issue.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The first city council bill to ban the horse carriage industry happened 19 years ago. So certainly from an animal welfare perspective, this is very important to do,&#8221; she said.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>President Donald Trump also weighed in on the vote, calling the end of the horse-drawn carriage industry &#8220;sad&#8221; and arguing the move was driven by a single tragic accident.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;When there is a car accident in the area, of which there are many, they don&#8217;t stop cars from entering the Park. So why would they stop the carriages? It was a great tradition. Another piece of history that&#8217;s gone. It will be missed,&#8221; he added. \u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Supporters of the bill praised the vote and thanked city leaders for advancing the measure.<\/p>\n<p>Betsy Smith, CEO of the Central Park Conservancy, said in a statement that the carriage rides pose a &#8220;serious and even fatal safety risk to Park visitors, carriage drivers, and the horses themselves. Our hearts break for the family of Romanch Mahajan, who stepped into a carriage earlier this summer and never thought he might lose his life.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Kathleen Schatzmann, strategic legislative affairs manager at the Animal Legal Defense Fund, called the vote &#8220;the start of a more humane and safe approach to New York tourism&#8221; and said the law would responsibly phase out the horse-drawn carriage industry while providing support for workers and protections for horses.<\/p>\n<section class=\"content__body--footer\">\n<\/section>\n<p>  <!-- data-recirc-source=\"queryly\" --><\/p>\n<aside class=\"component list recirculation component--type-recirculation  \">\n<p><h3 class=\"component__title\">More from CBS News<\/h3>\n<\/p>\n<div class=\"component__item-recirc-block\">\n<p><h3 class=\"component__title\">Go deeper with The Free Press<\/h3>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/aside>\n<section class=\"content__body--footer\">\n      <!-- tags --><\/p>\n<section class=\"content__tags\">\n<p class=\"content__tags__label\">In:<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<\/section><\/div>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js?client=ca-pub-6606220950177433\"\r\n     crossorigin=\"anonymous\"><\/script>\r\n<!-- ItShrt World News -->\r\n<ins class=\"adsbygoogle\"\r\n     style=\"display:block\"\r\n     data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-6606220950177433\"\r\n     data-ad-slot=\"1882483372\"\r\n     data-ad-format=\"auto\"\r\n     data-full-width-responsive=\"true\"><\/ins>\r\n<script>\r\n     (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});\r\n<\/script>\r\n<br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbsnews.com\/news\/horse-carriage-ban-bill-nyc-council\/\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The New York City Council passed a bill banning horse-drawn carriage rides in the city by 2028.
