Car window glazing requirements exception modified.
HF 1243 modifies Minnesota's exceptions to vehicle window tinting requirements. It clarifies that medical exemptions require a physician's prescription specifying the exact light transmittance percentage needed, whether the condition is temporary or permanent, and an expiration date (max two years). The bill also explicitly allows tinting on rear windows of pickup trucks, certain vans, funeral vehicles, limousines, and police vehicles. These changes apply to prescriptions issued on or after July 1, 2025, and directly affect drivers seeking medical exemptions or operating the specified vehicle types.
