Idaho State Statutes - Idaho Attorney Directory

Violation by a
juvenile of a curfew established by a municipal or county ordinance shall be
punishable by a fine not to exceed three hundred dollars ($300), detention, or
both. Fines shall be deposited in the county juvenile justice fund of the
county where the violation occurred, or if such a fund has not been
established, then in the current county expense account for juvenile
corrections purposes in the county where the violation occurred. The
imposition of detention shall be subject to the provisions of sections
20-520(1)(b) and 20-521, Idaho Code. Detention of a juvenile in a county jail
for violation of a curfew is prohibited.
Any peace officer may issue a citation for violation of a curfew that
shall thereafter proceed under the juvenile corrections act in the same manner
as though the violation was charged by a petition. Citations shall be issued
on the Idaho uniform citation form. The peace officer issuing a curfew
citation may detain the violator and at the time the citation is issued shall
make a reasonable effort to obtain the endorsement of the juvenile's parent or
legal guardian on the citation. If the endorsement of a parent or legal
guardian cannot be obtained with the exercise of reasonable diligence, a copy
of the citation shall be hand delivered or mailed to the juvenile's parent or
legal guardian by a peace officer at least seven (7) days prior to the date
set for the juvenile's appearance. The citation shall provide a date certain
for the appearance before a magistrate of the juvenile and parent or legal
guardian.
When sentencing a juvenile for violating a curfew, the court may also
enter any order authorized in section 20-520, Idaho Code. The court shall have
jurisdiction over the parent or legal guardian of the violator pursuant to
section 20-522, Idaho Code.
