Bill > A01654

This bill amends the New York Vehicle and Traffic Law to change the acceptable level of light transmittance for automobile window tint and film. Specifically, the bill reduces the minimum light transmittance requirement from 70% to 50% for the side windows and rear window of certain vehicle types, such as sedans and convertibles. The bill also allows the Commissioner to test vehicle windows and affix a label if the window is found to be compliant, with a tolerance of plus or minus 7% for the light transmittance measurements. The bill also updates the vehicle safety inspection requirements to check whether the windows comply with the new light transmittance standards.
