The Juvenile Curfew Second Emergency Amendment Act of 2025 amends the 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 beyond the standard hours of 11:00 p.m. to 6:00 a.m. when deemed necessary for public safety or property protection. It also empowers the Chief of Police to establish specific zones where extended curfew hours may apply. Additionally, the bill raises the age limit for curfew applicability from 17 to 18 years and introduces a new definition for "notice of violation of curfew," which includes verbal warnings to juveniles about potential arrest for curfew violations.

The legislation includes provisions for the Mayor and Chief of Police to issue administrative orders and designations for extended curfew hours and zones, respectively, with specific guidelines on the duration and conditions of these extensions. The Chief of Police is required to consider recent crime reports and other relevant information before designating an extended curfew zone. The bill also mandates that notices of curfew violations be issued before enforcement actions are taken, ensuring that juveniles have a chance to disperse. The act is set to take effect upon approval by the Mayor and will remain in effect for a maximum of 90 days.
