S 4572 New York Senate · 2025 Regular Session

Relates to the level of acceptable light transmittance of automobile window tint and film

This bill sets new standards for how dark automobile window tint can be. It requires front windshields to allow at least 70% light transmittance (except for the top six inches), and side windows near the driver and all rear windows to allow at least 50% light transmittance. The law also adds window tint checks to vehicle safety inspections and allows a ±7% tolerance when testing compliance. These rules directly affect drivers who use window tint film on their vehicles.
