Juvenile Curfew Congressional Review Emergency Declaration Resolution of 2025

This resolution declares an emergency to amend the District's Juvenile Curfew Act of 1995. It would allow the Mayor to extend curfew hours beyond current times (currently 8pm-11pm), let the Chief of Police establish extended curfew zones in specific areas during safety concerns, and extend the curfew to cover 17-year-olds. The bill directly affects minors under 18 in Washington, D.C., particularly those gathering in designated zones like the Wharf or U Street. It aims to provide officials with more flexible tools to address public safety incidents involving unaccompanied youth, as cited in the resolution's emergency justification.
