Full Breakdown
HMC § 7.24.010 sets curfew by age and school status. Minors under 14 who haven't begun ninth grade must be off the streets by 9:15 p.m. (10:15 p.m. in summer) until 6:00 a.m. Minors 14 and older, or who've begun ninth grade, face a 10:15 p.m. curfew Sunday through Thursday during the school year and midnight on Fridays, Saturdays, and nights before a school holiday, extending to midnight all summer. Exceptions cover a parent, legal guardian, or authorized adult over 21 accompanying the minor, plus travel to work, school, or an emergency. Employed minors whose jobs require late hours must carry an employer-issued card.
Violations & Fines
Peace officers take violating minors into custody; a first offense means notifying the parent and releasing the minor to them, while repeat violations go to county juvenile court. Parents who knowingly or unknowingly allow a violation are separately liable, and proof of a violation is prima facie sufficient for conviction.
