Why it matters

The speaker’s backing increases the proposal’s political prospects, but public support is not equivalent to Council passage.

Who is affected

Carriage workers, horse-welfare advocates, Central Park visitors, and businesses connected to the carriage industry.

What happens next

The proposal requires committee action and a full-Council vote; final worker-transition provisions remain unresolved.
