Optometrist clarified to be able to prescribe certain window glazing materials for motor vehicles.

This bill clarifies that optometrists, in addition to physicians, can issue prescriptions for tinted vehicle windows when medically necessary. It directly affects drivers and passengers who need specific window glazing materials to address vision-related medical conditions. The key provision allows optometrists to specify the minimum light transmittance percentage and expiration dates for such prescriptions, with provisions for relying on prescriptions issued to family members or dependents. The changes apply retroactively to July 1, 2025, and update Minnesota's vehicle safety statutes regarding tinted windows.
