The Arlington City Council is considering changes to the city's rules for door-to-door soliciting.
The proposal would set a 6 p.m. curfew for door-to-door solicitors.
"It would allow for citizens to be at home at night and not have to be interrupted by door-to-door salesmen coming to their homes," Councilman Robert Rivera said.
Currently, people can solicit in Arlington until 8 p.m. for a small fee and after a screening by the city.
The council is also considering how solicitors should identify themselves, from city-issued IDs and licenses that would be worn visibly to fluorescent-colored tops.
The changes would likely apply to anyone selling anything, including for-profit groups, nonprofits, magazine salespeople and Girl Scouts.
The changes would keep solicitors from bothering residents but would also target people who might pose as solicitors.
