HF 206 Iowa House · 2025-2026 Regular Session

A bill for an act relating to motor vehicle window tint, and making penalties applicable.

HF 206 changes Iowa's window tint law by lowering the minimum light transmittance requirement from 70% to 50% for front side windows and windshields. This means drivers can use darker tint on these windows than currently allowed, directly affecting most passenger vehicle owners. The bill removes the Department of Transportation's authority to set specific transparency rules and sets a $70 fine for violations. Law enforcement vehicles used for official duties remain exempt, as under current law. The bill was withdrawn before becoming law.
