Council Speaker Julie Menin is preparing to move forward with a revised bill establishing protest buffer zones around schools after Mayor Zohran Mamdani rejected an earlier version of the legislation, The Post has learned.

The updated proposal makes narrower changes to the original measure by specifically limiting the restricted protest areas to schools. Sources familiar with the matter said the legislation is expected to pass the full City Council within weeks by a commanding margin, likely preventing another showdown with the mayor.

Under the revised School Safe Access bill, the protest-free zones would apply only to educational institutions that serve students. Insiders said the adjustment is relatively modest but could help win over lawmakers who had hesitated to support the previous version.

The changes were also welcomed by members of the Jewish community, many of whom strongly criticized Mamdani after he vetoed the original proposal.

“We commend Speaker Menin for consistently advocating for the safety and well-being of Jewish families,” the UJA-Federation of New York said in a statement. “At a time when too few elected officials in New York City are willing to take meaningful action against antisemitism and hate, Speaker Menin has shown real courage and moral clarity.”

Moshe Spern of United Jewish Teachers also praised the revisions to the bill.

“By clarifying and refining the bill’s language, she helped keep the focus where it belongs: protecting students and ensuring safe access to schools while bringing more stakeholders together behind that goal,” he said.

Mamdani had vetoed the earlier version of the legislation, sponsored by Eric Dinowitz (D-Bronx), after it failed to secure enough votes for a veto-proof majority. The mayor argued the wording was overly broad and could potentially limit demonstrations at universities, museums, and teaching hospitals.

“This could impact workers protesting ICE, or college students demanding their school divest from fossil fuels or demonstrating in support of Palestinian rights,” he said last month.

Supporters of the revised legislation believe the amendments directly address those concerns.

The school-focused measure closely mirrored another proposal that sought to establish protest-free zones outside houses of worship.

Mamdani also opposed the religious institutions bill, though that legislation ultimately passed with enough support to override a veto.
