Multnomah County juvenile curfew is set by ORS 419C.680 and implemented through Portland City Code 14A.80.010. Minors under 18 prohibited from being in public between midnight and 4 AM (14+), 10:15 PM to 4 AM (under 14). School-day daytime curfew applies during school hours. Portland Police enforce with parent notification; repeat offenses can result in cite-and-release.
Oregon state law ORS 419C.680 sets statewide default curfew: children under 12 may not be in public places from 9 PM to 4 AM, and children 12 to 17 may not be in public places from midnight to 4 AM, unless accompanied by a parent or on legitimate business. Portland City Code 14A.80.010 adopts a tiered version: children under 14 are restricted from 10:15 PM to 4 AM daily, and children 14 to 17 from midnight to 4 AM on school nights and 1 AM to 4 AM on weekends. Exceptions include travel to/from work with proof of employment, attendance at school or religious events, emergencies, and accompaniment by a parent or guardian. Portland also enforces a Daytime Curfew during school hours for children subject to compulsory attendance under ORS 339.020, addressing truancy. Violations by minors are Class D violations; parents can be cited under ORS 419C.680(4) if they knowingly permit violations. Gresham (GRC 9.40) and Troutdale have similar curfews aligned to state law. Enforcement by Portland Police Bureau and Multnomah County Sheriff typically begins with a warning, parental notification, and release to parents.
First offense: warning and release to parent. Subsequent offenses: Class D violation citation, up to $440 fine. Parents knowingly permitting violations: Class B violation up to $2,500. Habitual truancy referred to juvenile court under ORS 419C.
