The Juvenile Curfew Emergency Amendment Act of 2025 amends the existing Juvenile Curfew Act of 1995 to enhance public safety measures regarding juvenile curfew hours in the District of Columbia. The bill allows the Mayor to extend curfew hours when necessary to protect public safety or property, and it empowers the Chief of Police to establish specific zones with extended curfew hours. Notably, the curfew hours will begin at 11 p.m. every day during June, July, and August 2025, and the age limit for curfew applicability is raised from 17 to 18 years.

Additionally, the bill introduces new definitions and procedures related to curfew enforcement. It defines "curfew hours" and establishes a process for the Mayor and Chief of Police to issue administrative orders for temporary extensions of curfew hours and designations of extended curfew zones. The legislation also outlines the requirements for notifying juveniles of curfew violations and the conditions under which police may enforce these curfews. Overall, the bill aims to provide law enforcement with greater flexibility and authority to manage juvenile curfews in response to public safety concerns.
