Council extends juvenile-curfew authority temporarily, pledges emergency follow-up
Summary
The D.C. Council voted to adopt a temporary juvenile-curfew measure and intends to consider a related emergency declaration at the October 7 legislative session; advocates and council members debated community-resource constraints and possible gaps between temporary and emergency measures.
Council member Pinto moved a temporary amendment to extend authority for juvenile curfew zones and to set a uniform curfew hour (11:00 p.m.). Pinto said the program had been effective earlier in the summer at dispersing large groups and reducing violations in concentrated public spaces, and she explained the procedural necessity of passing a temporary measure before introducing a new emergency declaration at the next legislative meeting.
