I have 5% on my xD and have had 5% on all of my cars for the last 10 years or so. No one has said anything here, in fact I did get pulled over once for something else and he was telling me that the tint law here in Indiana is no more...

anyone know if this got passed on the 15th?

burstaneurysm

Sounds like it was going to another reading on the 15th. Not sure when it's going to a vote.

Here's the most recent amendment. Gov't docs are so difficult to decipher, sometimes.

(a-5) No window treatment or tinting shall be applied to
the windows immediately adjacent to each side of the driver,
except:
(1) on vehicles where none of the windows to the rear of the driver's seat are treated in a manner that allows less than 30% light transmittance, a nonreflective tinted film that allows at least 50% light transmittance, with a 5% variance observed by any law enforcement official metering the light transmittance, may be used on the side windows immediately adjacent to each side of the driver.
(2) on vehicles where none of the windows to the rear of the driver's seat are treated in a manner that allows less than 35% light transmittance, a nonreflective tinted film that allows at least 35% light transmittance, with a 5% variance observed by any law enforcement official metering the light transmittance, may be used on the side windows immediately adjacent to each side of the driver.
(3) on multipurpose passenger vehicles, as defined by Section 1-148.3b of this Code, a nonreflective tinted film originally applied by the manufacturer, that allows at least 50% light transmittance, with a 5% variance observed by any law enforcement official metering the light transmittance, may be used on the side windows immediately adjacent to each side of the driver.

Now it begs the question. Is the xB considered an MPV? Does that mean that vehicles that have factory tinted glass is limited to 50% up front?

I think basically what they're saying is: it's ok to have tint on your front windows as long as your rear windows are not darker than 35% tint.

So basically, just like TN. You can put 35% all the way around.

that sucks cuz i dont wanna rip off what tint is already on there

o8tC

wait so 35% all around is legal then?

theunclesam

^^^ Not yet!

burstaneurysm

NOTHING IS LEGAL YET!
I don't want to yell, but I don't want people to jump the gun on this.

35% all around would be wonderful. It's all I really want anyway. Here's hoping it passes in the next month or so.

kewlbox

it looks like that would be the same as wisconsin. 35% in the rear and 50% up front

madscionce

this passed the 3rd reading today and went to concurrence of amendments . that means they are lining up the amendments in an order to be voted on. looks like around the first of the month.

burstaneurysm

Yea. It's looking very promising. I'd love to get mine tinted for my birthday in mid-June... probably wishful thinking though.

o8tC

they need to hurry up. how long has it been?

GQQSE13

its ill govnt. they're more worried about more stupid laws, raising taxes and giving themselves raises and typical BS

Pretty much just a waiting game now. Best part is that I only need to do the front two windows. Woot!

Ragingbull78

o8tC
