An Act To Amend Section 63-7-59, Mississippi Code Of 1972, To Authorize An Optometrist Licensed To Practice Optometry In The State Of Mississippi To Attest That A Person Has A Diagnosed Physical Condition Or Disease That Is Seriously Aggravated By Minimum Exposure To Sunlight And That Entitles Such Person To A Certificate Of Medical Exemption From The Provisions Of Law Regulating Motor Vehicle Windshield And Window Tinting; And For Related Purposes.
AI Summary
This bill amends existing Mississippi law regarding motor vehicle window tinting to allow licensed optometrists, in addition to physicians, to diagnose and certify medical conditions that are seriously aggravated by sunlight, thereby authorizing individuals with such conditions to obtain a medical exemption for tinted windows. This exemption allows for the use of tinted film or other darkening materials on a vehicle's windows that would otherwise be in violation of current tinting regulations, provided the owner obtains a certificate of medical exemption.
