Bill > H5884

This bill amends Rhode Island's existing law regarding nontransparent windshields and windows by adding a new exemption specifically for motor vehicles owned and operated by members of the Rhode Island judiciary. Currently, the law provides several existing exemptions for window tinting and nontransparent windows, such as for law enforcement vehicles, vehicles with medical exceptions, and vehicles used for executive security. The new provision will allow judges to have motor vehicles with window tinting or treatments that might otherwise be prohibited under the state's standard vehicle window restrictions. The bill does not provide detailed rationale for this specific exemption, but it appears to grant members of the judicial branch special consideration regarding vehicle window treatments. The legislation will take effect immediately upon its passage, meaning judges can potentially apply this exemption to their vehicles as soon as the bill becomes law.
