This summer is going to look different for minors in Philadelphia. A new curfew law was passed today by City Council.

The city has always had a curfew for minors so that part isn’t new. But what this legislation does is streamline the age groups and creates a new space so children out late don’t have to spend the night at the police station.

A bill passed unanimously by Philadelphia City Council seeks to reform the city’s existing curfew legislation.
