Romanch’s Law: NYC Moves Toward Phased Ban on Horse-Drawn Carriages
TL;DR
New York City’s long-running fight over horse-drawn carriages takes a sharp turn after 18-year-old Romanch Mahajan was fatally tossed from a Central Park ride. The bill, originally Ryder’s Law, will be renamed Romanch’s Law and called for a gradual phaseout of carriages, with a plan to help workers transition to safer jobs. A July hearing is planned, the carriage driver has been suspended, and the horse involved was retired, marking a potential turning point in the decades-long debate following other incidents in the park.
