What it would have done

Summary by the , the Legislature's nonpartisan drafting office. It's their wording, not ours.

This bill changes the motor vehicle window tinting limitations contained in the administrative code, allowing more opaque vent, side, and rear windows than under current law.

Under current law, the Department of Transportation (DOT) is responsible for enforcing motor vehicle equipment restrictions and may promulgate rules relating to vehicle equipment standards. DOT rules include provisions detailing the extent to which motor vehicle windows may be tinted. Among these rules, tinting of the vent, side, and rear windows is permitted by the application of tinting film to the inside of the glass provided that the combination of the glass and tinting film permits passage through the windows of at least 35 percent of the visible light striking the windows. This bill lowers the percentage of visible light that must be able to pass through the glass and tinting film to 17 percent.
