Glenn County, CA Curfew Laws: Juvenile Curfew (2026)

the following day. 'Public place' is defined broadly to include streets, highways, sidewalks, alleys, parks, playgrounds and other public grounds, plus the common areas of businesses such as entryways, lobbies, reception areas and parking lots. 030 lists nine exemptions: a minor accompanied by a parent or guardian, running an errand at a parent's direction without detour, traveling interstate by vehicle, going to or from lawful employment without detour, responding to an emergency, standing on the sidewalk abutting their own or an adjacent residence, returning directly home from a school, cultural, sports or entertainment activity or a First Amendment-protected rally, waiting at a bus stop, or an emancipated minor under the Family Code.

040 requires an enforcing officer to ask the apparent offender's age and reason for being out before taking any action, and bars enforcement unless the officer has probable cause that no exemption applies, so a stop cannot proceed on suspicion of age alone.
