AN ACT RELATING TO MOTOR AND OTHER VEHICLES -- NONTRANSPARENT WINDSHIELDS AND WINDOWS

HB 5272 allows rental or lease companies to avoid liability for traffic violations involving their vehicles by providing a copy of the written rental or lease agreement to the court or municipality. The bill requires traffic authorities to send written notices of violations - including vehicle license number and violation time - to rental companies, who must then share the renter's contact details within 20 days. This applies to violations related to non-compliant window tinting (as referenced in the chapter title), but the key change is shifting responsibility from the rental business to the renter. The law would take effect immediately upon passage.
