Motor Vehicles - Enhanced Tinted Windows - Medical Exemption
SB 913 amends Maryland's vehicle tinting law to allow out-of-state physicians licensed to practice medicine to issue medical exemptions for window tint darker than the standard 35% light transmittance requirement. It directly affects Maryland drivers with medical conditions (like light sensitivity) requiring darker tint, who previously needed an exemption from a Maryland-licensed physician. The bill removes the 2-year expiration limit for medical exemptions, allowing indefinite validity if a physician certifies a permanent condition. This change simplifies the process for out-of-state medical providers and individuals with ongoing health needs, while maintaining the core 35% light transmittance rule for non-exempt vehicles.
