What the law says
Front side windows: minimum 28% VLT. Rear side windows and back window: minimum 15% VLT. A ±3% tolerance applies; reflectance may not exceed 20%. HB 1161 (effective July 1, 2026) lowered the limits from the former 32% on all windows and added statutory definitions of front and rear side and door windows. The rear-window exemption for multipurpose passenger vehicles, buses, and limousines survives.
