Enacts the "New York state window tinting safety and enforcement act"; appropriation

This bill sets a 70% minimum light transmission standard for front side vehicle windows in New York, directly affecting all vehicle owners with tinted windows. It increases penalties for violations, including fines up to $500 for repeat offenses and potential registration suspension, while requiring police to use light transmission meters during traffic stops and quarterly enforcement sweeps in high-traffic areas. Vehicle safety inspections must now automatically fail if front windows don’t meet the standard, and the state allocates $2 million for law enforcement to purchase meters, train officers, and run public education campaigns about the rules. The law aims to improve driver and officer visibility by standardizing enforcement and raising awareness.
