Under 15.2-926, localities may implement curfews for minors during which hours?

• A. 10 PM to 6 AM
• B. 9 PM to 7 AM
• C. 11 PM to 5 AM
• D. 12 AM to 4 AM

Answer: (A)

Localities in Virginia can set curfew hours for minors by ordinance, and the period during which that curfew applies is from 10:00 p.m. to 6:00 a.m. This means, unless exempt (such as when the minor is traveling to or from work, school events, or has parental permission in certain circumstances), a minor is expected to be at home during those hours. The other time windows don’t reflect the standard curfew window contemplated by this statute for localities, which is why 10 p.m. to 6 a.m. is the correct choice.
