Lake Ozark Enacts Teen Curfew on Bagnell Dam Strip | Jefferson City News

Lake Ozark just enacted a teen curfew for the Bagnell Dam Strip, banning anyone under 18 from being out after 10:30 PM — a unanimous decision by aldermen. Originally, businesses faced fines up to $500 if they failed to report underage teens, sparking backlash from owners like Brian Hanely, who worried about age verification and liability. The ordinance was revised to ease enforcement pressure on businesses while still tackling safety and property damage concerns, aiming to make nighttime on the Strip safer without overburdening local establishments.
