As the proposal to implement a juvenile curfew in Manatee County moves along, officials are still working through enforcement details.
On Aug. 5, Manatee County commissioners voted 6-1, approving staff and the County Attorney’s Office to create a draft ordinance for a juvenile curfew. The curfew would prohibit minors under the age of 17 from being unsupervised in public places and establishments.
Minors caught in violations of the curfew are subject to fines of up to $100, according to a rough draft of the ordinance. But who will enforce the new rule? And how will it impact parents and children in Manatee County?…
