Pismo Beach Municipal Code Ch. 9.32 Presence of Minors Prohibited

It shall be unlawful for any minor under the age of eighteen years to remain or loiter about without any apparent reason or business, in or on the public streets, highways, roads, alleys, parks, public buildings, places of amusement or entertainment, vacant lots, or other unsupervised places between the hours of eleven p.m., official city time, and six a.m., official city time, of the following day; provided, however, the provisions of this section shall not apply to a minor accompanied by his or her parent, guardian, or where the minor is upon an emergency errand or legitimate business directed by his or her parent, guardian, or other adult person having the care and custody of the minor, or when the minor is returning directly home from a meeting, entertainment, recreational activity, or dance. (Ord. 92-27 § 1 (part), 1993)

For the purposes of this chapter, the burden of proof shall be upon the adult person accompanying the minor to establish the fact of the care and custody of the minor. The mere fact that the minor is accompanied by an adult person shall not give rise to a presumption that such adult person did in fact have the care and custody of such minor. The burden of proof shall be met by proof of the fact that such adult person is a person who has received the express permission of the parent or guardian to accompany such minor or by proof that such adult person has been entrusted with the legal custody of such minor. (Ord. 92-27 § 1 (part), 1993)
