>> In effort aimed at stopping large teen gatherings from happening in the city failed to advance after intense debate at City Hall today.

The proposal would allow Chicago police officials to impose a curfew anywhere in the city with just 30 minutes.

Notice or Heather.

Sharon joins us now with more.

And Heather, this proposal was revised just before today's hearing, which lasted more than 5 hours.

What's changed?

Well, it ensure that it would take 2 people to declare these snap curfews.

Both police Superintendent Larry Snelling and deputy mayor for community safety carrying gate would now that was the subject of intense debate at today's hearings because some conservative, all older people worried that that meant that the mayor essentially could direct his deputy mayor to block these curfews from being called.

The mayor has repeatedly he sees no value in expanding the city's curfew law.

>> It just simply won't make the city safer.

He has OK, so several members of the City Council's progressive caucus, they raise some very serious concerns.

>> About this proposal, what are those concerns?

there be questions about how the city's police department will use this constitutionally?

Of course, the city is under a federal consent decree reform and several older people had big questions about why precisely these new powers where necessary police department can already order an unlawful gathering that he's either turned violent or has somehow violated rules to disperse.

Why declare a curfew that would only apply to teens.

We also heard from Alderman, Jeanette.

Tell who said why are we offering these teens something to do elsewhere in the city?

And, you know, enrichment in the parks or anywhere else rather than just sort of putting them back into the law enforcement system, which of course, we know can have serious consequences.

So what happens now?

Alderman Brian Hopkins who authored this measure says he's going to bring it back perhaps on Monday to try to advance that the full City Council Bend could consider it on Wednesday.

However, as I am fond of saying if you have the votes you vote and if you don't, you delay and this means that there is real concern that this powers should not be given to the CPD or it should be curtailed in some Alright, Heather, I know you'll keep us posted next
