Logan, UT Curfew Laws: Juvenile Curfew (2026)

Section 9.24.070 of the Logan Municipal Code defines a minor as any person under eighteen (18) years of age and defines curfew hours in two parts. The first runs from 10:30 P.M. on any Sunday, Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, or Thursday until 5:00 A.M. on the following day. The second begins one minute after midnight (12:01 A.M.) and runs until five o'clock A.M. on any Saturday or Sunday. A minor commits an offense by remaining in any public place or on the premises of any establishment within the city during those hours. To remain means to linger or stay, or to fail to leave when a police officer or the owner, operator or other person in control of the premises asks.

The section carries a truancy rule too. A compulsory school age minor, defined as a person between six (6) and eighteen (18) years of age who must attend school under Utah compulsory education requirements, commits an offense by remaining in a public place or on establishment premises during truancy hours, meaning the hours the student should be in school.

Liability reaches beyond the minor. A parent or guardian commits an offense by knowingly permitting, or by insufficient control allowing, the minor to remain in a public place or on establishment premises during curfew hours. The owner, operator, or any employee of an establishment commits an offense by knowingly allowing a minor to remain on the premises during curfew hours.

Subsection C lists the defenses: the minor was accompanied by a parent or guardian; on an errand for the parent or guardian without any detour or stop; in a motor vehicle on interstate or intrastate travel with permission; at work or traveling to or from work without detour; in an emergency; following school open campus lunch policy; on the sidewalk abutting the minor's residence or a next door neighbor's residence when the neighbor did not complain to the police department; attending, or going directly to or from, a supervised school, religious or recreational activity sponsored by the city, a civic organization or a similar entity; exercising first amendment rights; or married or freed of the disabilities of minority under state law. An establishment has its own defense if it promptly notified the police department that a minor was present and refused to leave.

Subsection D limits enforcement. Before taking any action the officer must ask the apparent offender's age and reason for being in the public place, and cannot issue a citation or make an arrest unless the officer reasonably believes an offense occurred and no defense in subsection C is present.
