An act relating to tinted windows
This bill would update Vermont's window tinting laws to allow drivers to tint their front side windows up to 35 percent visible light transmission and their front windshield up to 10 percent visible light transmission. The changes directly affect motor vehicle owners and operators by modifying the legal limits on how much tinting material can be applied to specific vehicle windows. The bill also maintains existing provisions for emergency vehicles, dealer-installed stickers, rearview mirrors, toll transponders, and allows for medical exemptions for individuals who need additional sun protection, which would be reviewed by a physician or optometrist every four years. Additionally, the law would permit tinting on rear side and back windows only if the vehicle is equipped with side mirrors that provide a clear view of the road behind and on both sides.
