A juvenile who is in a public place or establishment during the restricted hours shall not be in violation of this chapter if:
(A) Accompanied by his or her parent or guardian;
(B) Accompanied by an adult of age 18 or older authorized by the parent or guardian of such juvenile to take the parent or guardian’s place in accompanying the juvenile for a designated period of time and purpose within a specified area;
(C) On an errand, using a direct route, at the direction of the juvenile’s parent or guardian until the hour of 12:30 a.m.;
(D) In a motor vehicle with parental consent engaged in interstate travel through the town or originating or terminating in the town;
(E) Traveling in a motor vehicle with a parent or guardian, or traveling in a motor vehicle with an adult 18 years of age or older authorized by the parent or guardian of such juvenile to take parent or guardian’s place in accompanying the juvenile for a designated period of time and purpose with a specified area;
(F) Engaged in a lawful employment activity, or using a direct route to or from a place of employment;
(G) Reacting or responding to an emergency;
(H) Attending or traveling to or from, by direct route, an official school, religious or recreational activity that is supervised by adults and sponsored by a public or private school, the town or other government entity, a civic organization or another similar entity that accepts responsibility for the juvenile;
(I) Exercising First Amendment rights protected by the United States Constitution such as the free exercise of religion, freedom of speech and the right of assembly;
(J) Married or emancipated;
(K) When authorized, by special permit from the Chief of Police or his or her designee carried on the person of the juvenile thus authorized, as follows. When other provisions of this chapter may inadequately provide for necessary nighttime activities of a juvenile, then the parent(s) or guardian(s) of the juvenile(s) shall contact the Chief of Police, or his or her designee, either for a regulation as provided in division (L) below or for a special permit as the circumstances warrant. Upon the findings of reasonable necessity for the use of a public place to the extent warranted by a written application signed by a juvenile, and the parent or guardian of the juvenile, if feasible, stating:
(1) The name, age and address of the juvenile;
(2) The name, address and telephone number of the parent or guardian of the juvenile thereof;
(3) The height, weight, sex, color of eyes and hair and other physical characteristics of the juvenile;
(4) The necessity that requires the juvenile to remain upon a public place during the restricted hours unless otherwise applicable;
(5) The public place; and
(6) The beginning and ending of the period of time involved by date and hour, the Chief of Police or his or her designee may grant a permit in writing for the juvenile’s use of a public place at such hours as, in the opinion of the Chief of Police or his or her designee, may be necessary and consistent with the purposes of this chapter.
(L) When authorized, by regulation issued by the Chief of Police or his or her designee in other similar cases of reasonable necessity, similarly handled as set forth in division (K) above, but adapted to reasonably necessary nighttime activities of more juveniles than can readily be dealt with on an individual special permit basis. Normally, such regulation by the Chief of Police or his or her designee permitting use of public places should be issued sufficiently in advance to permit appropriate publicity through news media and through agencies such as the schools. The regulation shall define the activity, the scope of the use of the public places permitted, the period of time involved not to extend more than one hour beyond the time for termination of the activity and the reason for finding that the regulation is reasonably necessary and is consistent with the purposes of this chapter.
