"Santiago/Ramos/Liu Police Protection Act"; requires certain law enforcement vehicles to have tinted windows.
This bill requires all new law enforcement vehicles purchased by New Jersey agencies - clearly marked as police vehicles - to have windows with tint that permits only the minimum light transmittance allowed under federal law. It applies only to new vehicles bought after the law takes effect (four months post-enactment), not existing vehicles. The law overrides previous state regulations on window tinting for these specific vehicles. It directly affects law enforcement agencies purchasing new marked patrol cars, ambulances, or similar vehicles. The policy change mandates a standardized window tint requirement for safety and visibility purposes.
