Proposed Rhode Island Law Would Ease Window Tinting Restrictions

Legislation (House Bill 7972) in Rhode Island would mirror the window tinting and window reflectance requirements in Massachusetts, according to the SEMA Action Network (SAN).

Under current Massachusetts law, non-windshield window tinting is allowed if it meets the minimum standard of 25-percent light transmittance. Current law in Rhode Island allows tint with no less than 43-percent light transmittance.

The bill has been introduced and referred to the House Committee on Judiciary.
