Co-Sponsors:  Yeckel, Caskey

This substitute permits the use of sun screening material with a
light transmission of 35% or more, plus or minus 3%, and a
luminous reflectance of 35% or less, plus or minus 3%, on front
windows and sidewing vents located to the left and right of motor
vehicles registered in Missouri.  The Department of Public Safety
may issue a permit to any person to operate a vehicle with sun
screening with less light transmission and more luminous
reflectance if the person has a serious medical condition and the
sun screening is prescribed by a physician.

The substitute does not prohibit the use of labels, stickers,
decalcomania, or informational signs on motor vehicles; the
application of tinting or solar screening material on
recreational vehicles; or factory-installed tinted glass.

The substitute also removes any restrictions on tinting of
rear-side windows and rear windows.  The degree of sun tinting on
vehicle windows will no longer be a part of motor vehicle
inspections.

The substitute has an emergency clause.
