This law allows vehicles used by individuals with medical conditions sensitive to sunlight to be equipped with sun-shading or tinting films that reduce light transmission to at least 35%. The law requires specific light transmittance levels for windshields and windows and mandates a written authorization from the DMV, supported by a healthcare provider, for such modifications. Vehicles cannot be operated on public roads without this authorization.
Individuals with medical conditions that make them sensitive to sunlight or bright artificial light are eligible for tinting exemptions if they obtain proper authorization.
Tinted windows must allow at least 35% of light to pass through, with the windshield's total light transmittance not less than 70% except for the top five inches or AS-1 line.
You need a signed statement from a licensed physician or optometrist, and then apply to the DMV for written authorization, which is valid as long as your condition persists.
No, you cannot operate a vehicle with such tinting on public roads unless you have the proper written authorization from the DMV.
