Boise enforces a juvenile curfew under Boise City Code Title 5 (Public Safety). Minors under 18 are restricted from being in public places during late-night and early-morning hours on school nights and weekends without a parent or guardian.
Boise's juvenile curfew restricts minors under 18 from being in public places during designated curfew hours. On school nights (Sunday-Thursday), the curfew is typically 11 PM to 5 AM. On weekend nights (Friday-Saturday), the curfew is typically midnight to 5 AM. Exceptions include minors accompanied by a parent or guardian, traveling to or from work, attending authorized school or religious events, or responding to emergencies. Parents may also be cited for knowingly allowing curfew violations.
Juvenile curfew violations are typically handled with a warning for first offenses. Repeat violations may result in citations, fines, and referral to juvenile court. Parents who knowingly allow violations may also face misdemeanor charges and fines.
