Bill Summary

General Description: This bill amends provisions relating to window tinting.

AI Summary

This bill modifies Utah's motor vehicle window tinting regulations by adding a new provision that prevents peace officers from requesting the Motor Vehicle Division or Driver License Division to revoke or suspend an individual's vehicle registration or driver's license for window tint violations related to windshield and front side window light transmittance. The existing law already specifies that windshields must allow at least 70% light transmittance and front side windows must allow at least 35% light transmittance (with a 5% variance tolerance), and prohibits windows with metallic or mirrored appearances. The bill maintains all previous restrictions on window tinting, such as limitations on obstructing views, placement of non-transparent materials, and requirements for rear-view mirrors. Notably, the new provision specifically limits administrative penalties by preventing license or registration suspension for these specific tinting infractions, which would previously have been considered an infraction. The bill is set to take effect on May 7, 2025, providing clear guidance for both vehicle owners and law enforcement about how window tint violations will be handled in the future.
