"Santiago/Ramos/Liu Police Protection Act"; requires certain law enforcement vehicles to have tinted windows.

This bill, the "Santiago/Ramos/Liu Police Protection Act," requires all new law enforcement vehicles purchased in New Jersey to have tinted windows that allow only the minimum light transmittance permitted under federal law. It applies only to vehicles clearly marked as police vehicles and affects law enforcement agencies buying new vehicles after the bill takes effect (four months post-enactment). The key provision mandates federal-standard window tinting for new police cars, aiming to enhance officer visibility and safety. The bill honors officers Rafael Ramos, Wenjian Liu, and Melvin Santiago, who were murdered in 2014.
