BILL NUMBER:S7164
Title of bill
An act to amend the administrative code of the city of New York, in relation to licenses for the rental horse business
Purpose or general idea of bill
The purpose of this bill is to preserve the Horse Carriage Industry of New York City.
Summary of provisions
This bill amends section 17-327 of the administrative code of the city of New York by adding a subdivision that would prohibit the city from issuing fewer licenses than what was issued in the year 2013. The city also shall not alter the license application process and cannot raise license fees.
Justification
The Horse Carriage Industry is essential to the cultural and historical heritage of New York City. Horse Carriages are an iconic fixture to the New York City landscape for both local New Yorkers and the many tourists who visit the city each year. This industry has been well regulated by New York City for many years. Horses have been treated humanely and the industry has always had a great safety record. Furthermore, the livelihood of drivers and stable hands should not be threatened. This industry is important to New York City and should not be dismantled.
