Juvenile Curfew Second Emergency Declaration Resolution of 2025

PR 26-0381 (Juvenile Curfew Second Emergency Declaration Resolution of 2025) proposes to extend emergency authority for the District of Columbia's juvenile curfew laws. It would allow the Mayor to extend curfew hours beyond current limits and empower the Chief of Police to establish specific curfew zones in areas with safety concerns, starting curfew at 11 p.m. daily and expanding coverage to include 17-year-olds. The resolution directly affects unaccompanied youth aged 17 and under and aims to address recurring incidents of large youth gatherings leading to violence, as reported by MPD following the expiration of prior emergency curfew legislation. The changes would amend the Juvenile Curfew Act of 1995 and make related updates to the Volunteer Services Clarification Temporary Amendment Act of 2025.
