Summary
In the City of Plymouth, City Code Section 925.01 adopts Hennepin County Ordinance No. 16, as amended, by reference to govern juvenile curfew, so Plymouth's own code does not print separate curfew hours; the County's ordinance controls and Plymouth enforces it as part of its own Code.
Hennepin County Ordinance No. 16, as amended, regarding juvenile curfew is hereby adopted by reference and made a part of this Code as if fully set forth herein.
Full Breakdown
Plymouth's curfew rule is short by design. 01 of the City Code, under the Code's Section 925 - Curfew, states only that Hennepin County Ordinance No. 16, as amended, regarding juvenile curfew is adopted by reference and made part of the Plymouth City Code as if fully set forth. The section was enacted by Ordinance 98-29 on September 2, 1998, and amended by Ordinance 99-18 on June 1, 1999. Because the substantive curfew hours, minors' age brackets, and any exceptions live in the county ordinance rather than being reprinted in Plymouth's own code, Plymouth's code text does not itself state a curfew time; a reader has to consult Hennepin County's Ordinance No.
16 for the operative hours. What Plymouth's own code does establish is that the county rule is treated exactly as if it were Plymouth's own law, meaning City officers can enforce it citywide and a violation is treated as a violation of the Plymouth City Code. 00 and up to 90 days in jail, with each day of a continuing violation counted separately.
Violations & Fines
Violating the curfew adopted by reference in Section 925.01 is treated as violating the Plymouth City Code itself. Under the Code's general penalty provision, Section 2000.01, any violation is a misdemeanor punishable by a fine of up to $700.00 and imprisonment for up to 90 days, and each day a violation continues is charged as a separate offense. Plymouth's own code does not restate the county's specific curfew hours or exceptions.
