NEWS: Curfew Act Unaffected By Recent Driving Law Changes
(January 27, 2008) - Effingham, Ill. -- “The state’s general curfew law for children has not been changed – despite rumblings to the contrary,” according to Scott Ealy, a local attorney who was called upon to research the legal matter recently and who has conferred with his colleagues as a member of the Traffic Laws and Courts section of the Illinois State Bar Association.
“The only curfew changes that took effect on January 01, 2008, apply solely to the driving hours for young drivers who are governed under Illinois’ Graduated Driver Licensing Program,” Ealy said.
“It’s still perfectly legal for young people under the age of 17 to stay out until midnight on weekends (Friday - Saturday) and up until 11 p.m. on weeknights (Sunday - Thursday). They just can’t be out driving past the new driving privilege time limits, which were changed to 11 p.m. on weekends and 10 p.m. on weeknights.” [Click here for NEWS RELEASE].
