New Hampshire's RSA 31:43-a to 31:43-g subdivision lets municipalities adopt juvenile curfew ordinances. A town or city that adopts the curfew law (RSA 31:43-a) may set a curfew for minors under 16 (RSA 31:43-c), with reasonable exceptions.
New Hampshire authorizes local juvenile curfews through the curfew subdivision, RSA 31:43-a to 31:43-g. A town at meeting or a city by council vote may adopt the curfew law under RSA 31:43-a, and RSA 31:43-c allows a curfew for persons under 16 on public streets and places during specified nighttime hours. Enforcement should allow reasonable exceptions for minors accompanied by a parent or guardian, traveling to or from work, responding to emergencies, or engaged in protected First Amendment activity. Without this enabling subdivision, municipalities would lack authority to enact curfews under New Hampshire's Dillon's Rule approach. Penalty provisions appear in RSA 31:43-e through 31:43-g.
Violations are typically classified as violations under RSA 625:9 with fines up to $1,000; parents may face liability for repeat offenses under local ordinance frameworks.
