Honolulu County has not enacted a local juvenile curfew, so HRS Sec. 577-16 applies islandwide: children under 16 may not be in public places unaccompanied between 10:00 p.m. and 4:00 a.m.
Hawaii Revised Statutes Sec. 577-16 establishes the juvenile curfew that governs Oahu. Children under age 16 are prohibited from being in public streets, highways, or other public places between 10:00 p.m. and 4:00 a.m. unless accompanied by a parent or legal guardian. HRS Sec. 577-21 permits Hawaii counties to supersede the statute with their own curfew ordinance, but Honolulu has not done so, meaning the state statute applies directly. Penalties include civil citations to the minor and potentially to the parent or guardian. Exceptions generally cover travel to or from employment or emergencies.
A minor in a public place during curfew hours without a parent or guardian may be cited, and parents can face penalties under HRS Sec. 577-16 for knowingly allowing violations.
