Bill > S00601

This bill amends the Vehicle and Traffic Law in New York to change the level of acceptable light transmittance for automobile window tint and film. Specifically, it lowers the minimum light transmittance requirement from 70% to 50% for side windows and rear windows (except for the front windshield, which remains at 70%). The bill also allows the Commissioner to test windows and affix a label attesting to their conformity, and it includes a tolerance of plus or minus 7% for the measurements. Additionally, the bill updates the vehicle inspection requirements to check whether windows comply with the new light transmittance standards.
