S 1621 New York Senate · 2025 Regular Session

Provides an exemption to the prohibition on tinted windows in automobiles for emergency ambulance service vehicles

S 1621 exempts emergency ambulance service vehicles from standard window tinting restrictions in New York's vehicle and traffic law. The bill amends Section 375 to specifically exclude ambulances (as defined in Section 115-c) from the prohibition on tinted windows. This change directly affects ambulance operators and manufacturers by allowing tinted windows on these vehicles without violating existing traffic regulations. The exemption applies immediately upon the bill's enactment, with no additional requirements for ambulance operators.
