It also lists certain exceptions to the curfew. “It defines “public place” as any public street, highway, road, playground, vacant lot, public building or similar place, and “establishment” as any privately owned place . of amusement or entertainment, or place of business operated for profit. According to the model ordinance, curfew would be in effect after 10 p.m. each evening except Friday and Saturday when it would be in effect after 12 midnight until 6 a.m. If adopted, it would make it unlawful for any minor to remain in any of the places above-mentioned unless accompanied by a parents or on an errand or engaged in gainful lawful employment, in which case the youth must carry written identification and evidence of such employment.
