Wrote and proposed Senate Bill Number 589.
8 votes yea, 0 votes nay!
He filed the bill on january 29, 2009

Synopsis:
He basically has changed our laws so that the new VLT% is now 35% net. The luminous reflectance of 25 percent or less. How nice of him to make sure that the VLT% does NOT apply to the following:
1. a window that has a United States, state, or local certificate placed on or attached to it as required by law
2. a motor vehicle that is not registered in this state
3. a window that complies with federal standards for window materials, including a factory-tinted or a pretinted window installed by the vehicle manufacturer, or a replacement window meeting the specifications required by the vehicle manufacturer
4. a vehicle used regularly to transport passengers for a fee
5. a vehicle that is maintained by a law enforcement agency and used for law enforcement purposes
6. a commercial motor vehicle as defined by Section 644.001

If anyone installs the "!llegal" window tint they are subject to a $1000 fine, that includes not installing the label between tint and the glass!

The FooBar is probably not the best place for this thread, many members don't even come into the FooBar.

If you don't mind, I'd like to move this thread to the tint laws section.
