Specifically, the bill prohibits a person from driving a vehicle with any tinted material or film on the windshield or front side windows unless the material or film is: (1) applied by the vehicle manufacturer prior to its sale and the tinted material and film permits a light transmittance of less than 70 percent, except as applied to the top six inches of the windshield or above the AS-1 marking on the windshield, (2) a product or material that increases light reflectance or reduces light transmittance, as authorized by the Chief Administrator of the New Jersey Motor Vehicle Commission (MVC) pursuant to P.L.1999, c.308, because the person has a photosensitivity medical condition, or (3) applied on a vehicle used solely for law enforcement purposes. The bill also amends R.S.39:3-75, which regulates "safety glazing material," to clarify that this section of law is not applicable to tinting materials or film permitted on motor vehicle windows pursuant to R.S.39:3-74 and P.L.1999, c.308 (C.39:3-75.1 et seq.). This bill amends current law to establish R.S.39:3-74 as the statutory authority concerning the permissible tint of a vehicle's windshield and front side windows. Multiple statutes are cited as the basis for the State's current restrictions on post-production window tinting and referenced in case law regarding tickets issued by law enforcement.
This bill revises and clarifies the laws concerning motor vehicle window tinting.
