Unaccompanied minors under the age of 17 cannot be in the area after 6 p.m. and until 6 a.m. the following day and those in violation of the curfew can be detained until they can be released to a parent or guardian who could also be fined more than $250 plus if they are found to be “in violation of their parental responsibility to exercise reasonable control and supervision.”

There are some special exceptions to the rule such as minors attended by a parent or guardian or those with special permission to attend education or employment.
