Livonia enforces a juvenile curfew prohibiting minors under 17 in public places between midnight and 6:00 AM, with exceptions for work, emergencies, and parent accompaniment.
Chapter 9.20 of the Livonia Code imposes a nighttime curfew on persons under 17 years of age. Minors are prohibited from being in public places, on public streets, or in places of amusement open to the public between 12:00 midnight and 6:00 AM. The ordinance includes standard defenses used by Michigan municipalities: the minor is accompanied by a parent or legal guardian, is traveling directly to or from lawful employment or a school or religious function, is responding to an emergency, is engaged in interstate travel, or is exercising First Amendment activity. A minor found in violation may be detained and released to a parent; parents who knowingly permit a violation may be cited. The first offense is typically a juvenile civil infraction; repeat offenses can produce fines up to 100 dollars and referral to Wayne County family court programs. The curfew is applied content-neutrally and enforced by the Livonia Police Department.
