Title
Motor vehicles, window tint law, medical exemption for light-sensitive porphyria, applicable to all areas of windshield, Sec. 32-5C-4 am'd.
Description

Under existing law, tinted windows on a motor vehicle must meet certain specifications unless the owner or passenger of the motor vehicle has obtained an exemption from the Alabama State Law Enforcement Agency.

This bill would provide that an exemption on behalf of a patient diagnosed with a light-sensitive porphyria would apply to all areas of the windshield and windows prescribed by the physician. This bill would require ALEA to design a decal to be placed on the windshield of any motor vehicle operated by a person receiving an exemption and charge a fee for each decal issued.
