Broward County Emergency Curfew Lifted

This afternoon, Broward County issued a new, amended Order, terminating the Emergency Curfew Order that was in effect in Broward County on May 31, June 1, and June 2, 2020. This means there will be no countywide curfew on the evening of Wednesday, June 3rd.

However, if required to protect Broward County residents and businesses, a curfew may be reimposed for part or all of the County, including incorporated and unincorporated areas, with as little as one (1) hour prior written notice designating the applicable area(s).

A curfew will be reimposed if there is evidence of possible civil unrest that threatens the health, safety, or welfare of the public. Broward County Code of Ordinances gives the County Administrator the authority to impose a general curfew applicable throughout the community while there is a State of Local Emergency in effect, issued on Sunday, May 31st.
