Moreno Valley enforces a juvenile curfew for minors under 18, typically 10 PM to 5 AM on school nights and 12 AM to 5 AM on weekends, with standard exceptions for emergencies, work, and accompanied minors.
Moreno Valley Municipal Code prohibits minors under 18 from being in public places, streets, parks, or establishments during curfew hours. Typical curfew provisions run 10:00 PM to 5:00 AM Sunday through Thursday and 11:59 PM to 5:00 AM Friday and Saturday, though exact hours should be verified with current Moreno Valley Municipal Code. Standard exceptions include minors accompanied by a parent or guardian, traveling to or from lawful employment, responding to an emergency, exercising First Amendment rights (attending religious or political gatherings), or traveling with parental consent for a specific purpose. Violations are infractions subject to citation; parents may also face civil liability if they knowingly permit repeated violations. Moreno Valley Police (Sheriff Moreno Valley Station) often divert first-time violators to diversion programs rather than court. The Riverside County Probation Department may become involved for repeat violators. School-day daytime truancy is regulated separately under California Education Code.
Specific penalty amounts for this ordinance are not published in a publicly accessible fine schedule. Contact Moreno Valley code enforcement directly for current fines, enforcement procedures, and hearing options.
