Bill > S01621

This bill amends the New York vehicle and traffic law to create an exemption from window tinting restrictions specifically for emergency ambulance service vehicles. Currently, there are legal limitations on how darkly vehicle windows can be tinted, but this legislation would allow ambulance vehicles to have window tinting that would otherwise be prohibited. By referencing section one hundred fifteen-c of the vehicle and traffic law, the bill ensures that only official emergency ambulance service vehicles would qualify for this exemption. The purpose appears to be providing additional privacy, safety, or operational flexibility for ambulance personnel and patients. The bill would take effect immediately upon passage, meaning ambulance services could potentially implement window tinting changes right away. The exemption is narrow and targeted, applying only to a specific type of emergency vehicle and not to other vehicle types.
