Tennessee sets a countywide child curfew by statute (Tenn. Code Ann. §39-17-1702): minors 17 to 18 must be off public places 11 PM to 6 AM on weeknights and midnight to 6 AM on weekends, with tighter hours for younger minors. Cities may add their own.
Tennessee's child curfew statute, Tenn. Code Ann. §39-17-1702, sets night hours for minors across Sumner County. Those between 17 and 18 may not remain on public streets, highways, parks, vacant lots, or other public places from 11 p.m. to 6 a.m. Monday through Thursday and from midnight to 6 a.m. Friday through Sunday; minors 16 and under face earlier 10 p.m. and 11 p.m. limits. Common exceptions cover a minor accompanied by a parent, traveling to or from work, or responding to an emergency. Gallatin, Hendersonville, and Portland may layer their own municipal curfews on top. Local police enforce the hours, with penalties aimed at parents.
Local police enforce the curfew. A first stop usually brings a warning and parental notice; a parent or guardian who knowingly allows a violation can be charged, and repeat offenses draw fines.
