CINCINNATI —

Cincinnati city leaders approved a revised curfew law on Wednesday, during the first council meeting after the summer break.

Council members also approved a "Special Extended Curfew District," meaning the curfew for kids under 18 in parts of downtown Cincinnati, Over-the-Rhine and The Banks will now be 9 p.m.

"This is a plus, another tool in the tool belt to help us keep people safe in the city, especially young people. And I think this also helps to make sure that our business district people feel safe and comfortable going out to dinner as they did this weekend. And as they'll continuously do. But this is a 9 o'clock – you have to be out of the special extended curfew district by 9 o'clock if you are under 18," Councilmember Scotty Johnson said.
