Relating to the authority of a municipality to regulate activities involving a horse-drawn carriage.

HB 5356 prevents Texas municipalities from banning or restricting activities involving horse-drawn carriages, such as business tours, educational programs, or entertainment events. The bill directly affects local governments (municipalities) that might have considered enacting ordinances limiting these activities, and it applies to anyone operating horse-drawn carriages for permitted purposes. Its key provision prohibits municipalities from adopting or enforcing any ordinance, regulation, or measure that restricts such carriage activities. The bill does not create new regulations but blocks local restrictions, ensuring carriage-based activities cannot be prohibited for business, educational, or entertainment use. This is a policy change affecting municipal authority over carriage operations, not the carriage activities themselves.
