Bill Summary
Vehicle equipment; films on windshields. Authorizes the application of clear film to the windshield of a vehicle, so long as it is maintained in a condition consistent with federal requirements.
AI Summary
This bill amends existing Virginia law regarding vehicle equipment, specifically concerning films on windshields. It authorizes the application of clear film to a vehicle's windshield, provided that the film is maintained in a condition that does not impair visibility through the windshield and is consistent with federal regulations concerning glazing materials (49 C.F.R. § 571.205, Standard No. 205). Previously, the law only allowed for a sunshield in the uppermost area of the windshield as installed by the manufacturer, with limited exceptions.
