An Act To Clarify The Law Regarding Tinted Windows In Motor Vehicles

This bill clarifies Maine's tinted window law by establishing a clear process for vehicle owners with medical conditions to obtain an exemption. It requires the Chief of the State Police to issue a certificate of exemption upon receiving a written request signed by a medical provider (defined as a doctor, optometrist, physician assistant, or certified nurse practitioner). The exemption allows vehicles to have tinted windows that would otherwise violate state law, and owners must display the certificate when requested by law enforcement. This directly affects drivers with medical conditions requiring exemption and standardizes the application process for law enforcement.
