An Act amending Title 75 (Vehicles) of the Pennsylvania Consolidated Statutes, in safety and anti-pollution equipment, further providing for windshield obstructions and wipers.
This bill amends Pennsylvania's vehicle code to strengthen window tinting regulations. It requires vehicles with tinted windows to pass a safety inspection using a tint meter, failing if they violate existing tint limits (67 Pa. Code Ch. 175). Additionally, it prohibits tinting businesses from failing to inform customers that modifications may violate these limits, classifying such omissions as deceptive under consumer protection law. The bill directly affects vehicle owners seeking tinted windows, tinting businesses, and inspection stations. It implements concrete policy changes by integrating tint compliance into safety inspections and enforcing consumer transparency.
