Unincorporated York County has no countywide juvenile curfew. The curfews are municipal: the City of York bars anyone 17 or younger from public places 9 PM to 6 AM, with work and parent exceptions. Rock Hill enforces its own.
South Carolina home rule under Code Section 4-9-25 lets York County regulate for peace and good order, but the county has not adopted a countywide juvenile curfew for its unincorporated areas near Lake Wylie and Clover. Juvenile curfews here are city ordinances. The City of York prohibits minors 17 and under from being in public places from 9 PM to 6 AM, seven days a week, with exceptions for work, travel to and from work, and being accompanied by a parent or guardian. Rock Hill enforces its own juvenile curfew, escalating from a warning to a parent citation for repeat violations.
In the City of York and Rock Hill, a curfew violation targets the parent or guardian. Rock Hill parents found guilty face a fine up to $250 plus costs or up to 30 days.
