SB 1237 Hawaii Senate · 2025 Regular Session

RELATING TO MOTOR VEHICLES.

SB 1237 repeals existing state laws that restricted the installation and use of window tinting and other sun screening devices on motor vehicles. This bill directly affects vehicle owners and drivers who currently face legal limits on tint darkness or placement. The key provision removes these restrictions, allowing greater flexibility for window tinting without legal penalty. The bill was introduced on January 21, 2025, and passed its first reading on January 23, 2025, before being referred to committee.
