As the 13-member D.C. Council gets set to vote on two juvenile curfew bills, Mayor Muriel Bowser is urging them to pass what she calls the “common-sense public safety emergency legislation.”
Bowser was referring to an emergency measure that would require nine votes to pass.
In her letter to D.C. Council Chair Phil Mendelson, Bowser asked the council to reject one of Ward 1 Council member Brianne Nadeau’s amendments to the permanent version of the bill.
Nadeau wants to stop police from taking young people to the Youth Services Center for a curfew violation.
Bowser said the option was designed, in part, to link teenagers to services. She also said D.C. police don’t have the resources to provide home drop-off for teens who violate the curfew.
D.C.’s been wrestling how to handle legislation surrounding the curfew, which bars groups of eight or more people under 18 from gathering after 11 p.m. following so-called teen takeovers. The curfew also allows D.C. police to declare juvenile curfew zones, which go into effect earlier.
