Full Breakdown
24 of the Maui County Code was adopted under Hawaii Revised Statutes § 577-21 to "promote public health, safety, and general welfare during late night and school hours" and reduce juvenile crime, while expressly preserving minors' First Amendment rights. 010 means anyone under eighteen except those on active military duty, married, or otherwise emancipated. for ages sixteen to under eighteen. 030 lists exceptions covering a minor accompanied by a parent or authorized adult, running an errand at a parent's direction, holding written parental permission, working or traveling to or from employment, facing an emergency, staying within fifty feet of home, attending a supervised school, religious or recreational activity, or exercising First Amendment rights.
030(B) excuses an operator who promptly calls police and asks the minor to leave. 055 requires an officer to have reasonable suspicion and gather the minor's name, address and age before citing anyone, and the State bears the burden of disproving an exception. 060 caps the penalty at $500.
Violations & Fines
Minors present in public places or streets outside the tiered curfew windows violate § 9.24.020; parents or guardians who knowingly permit it violate § 9.24.040; and establishment operators who let a minor remain after curfew violate § 9.24.050 unless they notify police under § 9.24.030(B). Any violation of the chapter carries a fine "not more than five hundred dollars" under § 9.24.060.
