Title

Consider an ordinance repealing Chapter 24, Article II, Code of Ordinances (2018 Edition), regarding youth curfew. (First Reading)*

 

Body

For many years, the City maintained juvenile curfew hours in its ordinances. Earlier this year, House Bill 1819 forbidding such curfews was passed by the Texas Legislature, and it took effect Sept. 1. Chapter 370 of the Local Government Code now prohibits a political subdivision from enforcing juvenile curfews except for purposes of emergency management. The proposed ordinance repeals the City's curfew ordinance.
