What the law says

No aftermarket tint is permitted on the front side windows. Rear side and back windows: any darkness. No aftermarket tint of any VLT is permitted on the windshield or front side windows. A pending 2026 bill (A4673) would add tint inspections — it is not law, and online claims of a 2026 front-tint legalization are false.
