Virginia authorizes localities to enact juvenile curfew ordinances under specific enabling statutes, with state law setting maximum penalties and constitutional safeguards uniformly.
Va. Code § 15.2-926 expressly enables localities to adopt juvenile curfew ordinances. Curfew violations are typically punishable as a Class 4 misdemeanor (max $250 fine, no jail) under § 18.2-11. Ordinances must include constitutional exceptions for First Amendment activity, employment, emergency, and accompaniment by a parent. Without § 15.2-926 authority, Dillon's Rule would bar local curfews. The state preempts on penalty maxima but leaves curfew hours and age limits to localities.
Class 4 misdemeanor (up to $250 fine) for juvenile; parental civil penalty up to $500 in some localities. No jail for juveniles.
