Summary
Plantation's Code of Ordinances contains no juvenile curfew. The only curfew power in the code is the mayor's authority to set a temporary curfew during a declared emergency. Loitering near a school stays prohibited.
Sections 877.20-877.24 do not apply in a county or municipality unless the governing body of the county or municipality adopts an ordinance that incorporates by reference the provisions of ss. 877.20-877.24.
Full Breakdown
Chapter 17, the offenses chapter, runs from Section 17-1 to Section 17-8 and then reserves everything through Section 17-25; none of it sets an hour by which minors must be off the street. The one curfew provision in the code is in Section 2-453, which lets the mayor, by executive order when the city council cannot be convened, exercise any power of the governing body including establishing a temporary curfew during an emergency. Section 17-8 separately makes it unlawful to loiter or prowl within five hundred feet of a school in session under circumstances warranting reasonable alarm, and Section 17-1 makes any state misdemeanor an offense inside the city.
Violations & Fines
There is no curfew citation to issue, because the code sets no juvenile curfew hours. Loitering near a school and trespass remain enforceable offenses under Sections 17-8 and 17-5.
