De La Rosa questioned limiting
the regulation to areas within 500
feet of the central business
district and areas zoned for
apartments.

“(Teens) will find another place

Rutland said limiting loitering
prohibitions to specific areas for
explicit purposes and for limited
times is a way to make such laws
easier to defend in court.
“It’s awkward to regulate so-
meone standing or being some

Rutland noted that the draft

be fined up to $500 in some cases.
Among other exceptions, the
proposed regulation also calls for
those younger than 17 to obtain
from police a “notice,” upon ap-
plication, that the minor is exer-
