MP Simon Supports Curfew Passes As Lower House Approves New Restrictions On Minors

4

The House of Representatives has approved the Small Charges (Amendment) Bill 2024, aimed at enhancing public safety by discouraging loitering by minors. The bill amends the Small Charges Act Cap 405, mandating that children under 18 must be accompanied by a parent between 10:00pm and 6:00am.

Parents face fines ranging from EC $2,000 to $5,000 or up to six months in prison for their children’s loitering offenses. Bars, nightclubs, and similar venues will also be fined EC $5,000 if they allow unaccompanied minors on their premises during these hours. The bill also includes a provision for community service.
