GYPSUM, Colorado – Gypsum Town Council is expected to approve a curfew for minors at the next council meeting, Tuesday.

If the ordinance is approved, minors in Gypsum will have a curfew from 11 p.m. to 5 a.m. seven days a week.

Children will be allowed to break curfew if:



• The minor is accompanied by a parent or is legally emancipated or married.

• Engaged in an activity necessary for their lawful employment.

• Traveling through the town to go interstate or intrastate with the permission of a guardian

• If the minor is prevented from complying with the curfew for a reason beyond their control.
