Motor vehicles, law enforcement officers, dark tint on personal vehicles authorized, Sec. 32-5C-2 am'd.
HB 332 amends Alabama's vehicle tinting law to allow law enforcement officers (active or retired, at state, local, or federal levels) to operate personal vehicles with darker window tint than standard limits. Currently, vehicles with tint reducing light transmission below 32% on rear/side windows or 20% reflectance are restricted; this bill creates a specific exception for officers' personal vehicles. The change directly affects law enforcement officers' personal driving habits by removing a standard tinting restriction they previously faced. The bill does not alter general public tinting rules or add new enforcement requirements.
