DeKalb adopts local curfew
DeKalb County Commissioners recently adopted a local curfew ordinance that mirrors the state law, to allow for easier enforcement.
Under the law, minors under the age of 17 cannot be in public without supervision between midnight and 5 a.m. Juveniles, and their parents, can be cited under the law, as can business owners who fail to comply by allowing youth to be on site.
The ordinance is slated to take effect in early 2014, to allow for an education campaign with county schools and businesses, to explain the measure. April Hunt
