Bill > SF1075

This bill modifies Minnesota's window glazing (tinting) requirements, specifically updating rules for medical exceptions to window tint restrictions. The bill clarifies that medical prescriptions for window tinting must now explicitly state whether a medical condition is temporary or permanent, and require physicians to specify the exact percentage of light transmittance that can be reduced. Additionally, the bill expands the current exceptions to allow vehicle window tinting based on medical needs, even when the person with the medical prescription is not present in the vehicle, provided certain conditions are met—such as the prescription specifying the vehicle's make, model, and license plate, and being issued to a close family member or care recipient. The prescription must also include an expiration date, which cannot exceed two years, unless the physician indicates the condition is permanent. The changes will take effect on July 1, 2025, and will apply to prescriptions issued on or after that date, providing more flexibility and clarity for individuals with medical needs requiring window tinting.
