Broward County Code Chapter 5 establishes a countywide juvenile curfew applicable to minors under age 17. Curfew hours prohibit minors from being in public places, businesses, or establishments between 11:00 PM and 5:00 AM Sunday through Thursday, and between 12:00 midnight and 6:00 AM Friday and Saturday. Exceptions include minors accompanied by parent or guardian, traveling to or from work with proof of employment, attending religious or school-sponsored events, responding to emergencies, exercising First Amendment rights, or on the sidewalk immediately abutting the minor's residence. First-offense violations typically result in parental notification and warnings, with repeat violations subject to civil citations against parents of up to $500 and community service requirements for the minor.
