Councilwoman Brooke Pinto ended her effort to pass a Washington, D.C., curfew extension bill after failing to garner enough votes, but instead helped pass a permanent curfew bill that will take effect later.

The emergency bill would have granted the district the authority to impose 8 p.m. curfews for teenagers over the summer. It was intended to stymie the epidemic of violent youth crime and garnered the support of Democratic Mayor Muriel Bowser.
