Bill Summary
AN ACT To amend and reenact R.S. 32:361.1(C)(1), relative to motor vehicle sun screening device regulations; to reduce the allowable light transmission percentage for any sun blocking film or device on the front side windows of motor vehicles; and to provide for related matters.
AI Summary
This bill reduces the minimum light transmission percentage allowed for sun screening devices (window tints) on the front side windows of motor vehicles in Louisiana from 40% to 25%. In practical terms, this means that window tints on front side windows can now be slightly darker, allowing less light to pass through. The term "light transmission percentage" refers to the amount of visible light that can pass through a window tint, with lower percentages indicating darker tints. The bill maintains the existing light transmission requirements for side windows behind the driver (25%) and rearmost windows (12%), and continues to require that all sun screening devices have a luminous reflectance (the amount of light reflected) of no more than 20%. This change could potentially provide more privacy and sun protection for vehicle occupants, while still maintaining some visibility for safety purposes.
