Rialto, CA Curfew Laws: Juvenile Curfew (2026)

on Saturday and Sunday nights (covering the Friday and Saturday overnight periods). 010(E) as anyone under 18, commits an offense by remaining in any public place or on the premises of any establishment during curfew hours, and a parent or guardian separately commits an offense by knowingly permitting, or by insufficient control allowing, the minor to do so. 030 lists nine defenses, including being accompanied by a parent or guardian, running an errand at a parent's direction without a detour, traveling interstate in a vehicle, going to or from employment without a detour, an emergency, being on the sidewalk abutting the minor's own home or a non-complaining next-door neighbor's home, attending or returning from a city- or civic-organization-sponsored supervised activity, exercising First Amendment rights, or being married or a fully emancipated minor under Family Code Section 7000-7110.

040 constrains enforcement: before taking any action, an officer must ask the apparent offender's age and reason for being out, and cannot cite or arrest unless the officer reasonably believes an offense occurred and no listed defense applies.
