YouTube Description

as posted by the channel

A City Council hearing could shape the future of New York City’s horse-drawn carriage industry. FOX 5’s Jessica Formoso reports from City Hall, where lawmakers are considering a bill that would phase out the 150-year-old industry and stop new licenses. The bill, known as Roman’s Law, was reintroduced after 18-year-old Roman Mahajan died during a runaway carriage ride in Central Park. Mayor Zohran Mamdani says he supports ending the industry but wants stronger worker transition protections in place.
