Bill > A06968

This bill amends the New York Vehicle and Traffic Law 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, rear side windows, and rear windows (with an exception for rear windows if the vehicle has side mirrors). The bill also allows the Commissioner to test any window and affix a label if it conforms to the new requirements, with a tolerance of plus or minus 7%. Additionally, the bill updates the vehicle safety inspection requirements to check whether windows comply with the new light transmittance provisions.
