Plain-Language Summary

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.
