Tennessee sets a statewide child curfew by statute (Tenn. Code Ann. §39-17-1702): minors 17 to 18 must be off public places 11 PM to 6 AM on weeknights and midnight to 6 AM on weekends, with tighter hours for younger minors. Franklin adds its own city curfew.
Tennessee's child curfew statute, Tenn. Code Ann. §39-17-1702, sets night hours for minors across the county. Those between 17 and 18 may not remain in public streets, parks, or other public places from 11 p.m. to 6 a.m. Monday through Thursday and from midnight to 6 a.m. Friday through Sunday; minors 16 and under face 10 p.m. and 11 p.m. limits. Common exceptions cover a minor with a parent, traveling to or from work, or an emergency. The City of Franklin layers its own municipal curfew for those under 18 on top. Enforcement falls to local police, with penalties aimed at parents.
Local police enforce the curfew. A first stop usually brings a warning and parental notice; a parent or guardian who knowingly allows a violation can be charged, and repeat offenses draw fines.
