Charlotte's Safety Committee Advances a 9 p.m. Curfew for Everyone Under 18

The Charlotte Mercury·

The City Council's Safety Committee voted unanimously to send the full council a single 9 p.m. curfew for everyone under 18, replacing the current age-tiered rules. The change still needs a full-council vote, expected in August. The members who advanced it spent the meeting warning that a curfew alone won't fix what draws teens into the streets.
