Plain-language change summary

The recent amendment to the Juvenile Curfew Act of 1995 changes the start time for the juvenile curfew to 11 p.m. every day and allows the Mayor to extend curfew hours in certain situations to enhance public safety. It also grants the Chief of Police the authority to establish specific areas where extended curfew hours can be enforced. Importantly, the amendment now includes 17-year-olds under the curfew, expanding its reach. These changes aim to better protect the community and address concerns about safety during nighttime hours.
