Chapter 16 (Minors), Article I of the Solano County Code establishes the county juvenile curfew (Ord. No. 1763, §2). Section 16-10 prohibits any person under the age of eighteen (18) from loitering in or about any public street, public place, or place open to the public in the unincorporated territory of the county between 10:00 p.m. and the time of sunrise of the following day, unless accompanied by a parent, guardian, other adult having legal care, custody, and control, or a spouse over 21. Section 16-11 makes it unlawful for a parent, guardian, or other person with legal care to permit a violation of §16-10. Section 16-12 makes it unlawful for the proprietor of any cafe, tavern, restaurant, bar, eating place, or public dance hall to permit any person under 18 to remain on the premises between 10:00 p.m. and sunrise unless accompanied by an adult having care and custody. Section 16-13 requires hotels, boardinghouses, and motels to immediately report unaccompanied minors to the Sheriff. Section 16-14 requires arrest reports to be forwarded to the County Probation Officer.

Parents permitting a violation may be cited under §16-11. Business owners letting unaccompanied minors stay past 10:00 p.m. violate §16-12.
