The Curfew has the following features:
- The Curfew applies to persons who are 16 years of age or under.
- The Daytime Curfew prohibits children (without a parent
or legal guardian with them) from being out in public between
the hours of 9 am and 2:30 pm, Monday through Friday.
- The Daytime Curfew is not in effect during the summer
months of June, July and August.
- The Nightime Curfew hours begin at 11 pm
and end at 6 am. These curfew times
are in effect all year round.
