Bill > A08484

This bill amends the Vehicle and Traffic Law to change the acceptable level of light transmittance for automobile window tint and film. Specifically, it reduces the minimum light transmittance requirement from 70% to 50% for the side windows, rear windows, and any rear side windows of certain vehicle types like sedans and convertibles. The bill also provides a tolerance of plus or minus 7% for measurements taken by the commissioner or their designee. The changes will take effect 60 days after the bill becomes law, with the necessary rules and regulations authorized to be implemented by that date.
