Sen. Ciphers presented Senate Bill 506, which updates existing code language that previously addressed window tint films to account for new clear films for windshields that offer benefits such as UV blockage and reduced bug adhesion.
The sponsor told the subcommittee the bill limits approvals to clear films that meet visibility standards and that stakeholders had reviewed the language. “This only allows for clear films, and they have to meet some standards for visibility,” the sponsor said.
No public witnesses registered opposition in the room, and the subcommittee moved and seconded to report the bill. The measure passed by roll call 7–0 and will proceed to the next committee stage.
