The bill, H.B. No. 5356, seeks to amend the Local Government Code by adding a new section that restricts municipalities from adopting or enforcing any ordinances, regulations, or measures that would prohibit or limit activities involving horse-drawn carriages. This includes activities conducted for business, educational, or entertainment purposes. The new legal language emphasizes the protection of these activities from municipal regulation.

The bill is set to take effect immediately if it receives a two-thirds majority vote from all elected members in both houses of the legislature. If it does not achieve this majority, the bill will take effect on September 1, 2025.
