I'd be shocked if he signed it before July 4th. Quinn seems more interested in getting next year's budget together... which, as a state employee, I'd rather him focus on that.

I dont believe he is gonna sign this bill any time soon. The news keeps talking about how he is pressured to get a budget together and that, thats his main priority. However no politicians have really come up with a solid solution so we probably wont see the tint bill get signed.

Well, Illinois law states that if a bill is passed with greater than a simple majority, it becomes law with or without the governor's signature. So basically, he would need to veto the bill, which, considering only three people opposed it in the house/senate, would be silly.
Also, I'm not sure Quinn has pocket veto privileges. So yea... I'm making an appointment for tints on labor day weekend.

I don't think he will... if he was planning on vetoing, he would've already. The fact that it's just sitting there tells me that it's totally off his radar, which is exactly where we want it.

Got pulled over today in Orland Park for the tint and no front plate. 50$ for each and I mentioned to the cop about this new law and he said he hasn't hear anything about it. If this does become law what is to stop a cop from writing you a ticket if they don't know the new law themselves?

that would be awesome. I just finished ripping off my front tints, I have 5% in back and 35% on the fronts so even if this law does happen I'd still be illegal. I might have 50% thrown on the fronts in the spring.

------If this does become law what is to stop a cop from writing you a ticket if they don't know the new law themselves-------like the saying- ignorance for the law is no reason to break the law, then i would say, ignorance for the law is no reason to be writting me a ticket. as soon as this gets signed im printing out that its passed, and all the history of the bill and im probly going to the tinley park police department to make sure they understand and are knowledgable of the bill, so in the case i do get pulled over for this i will ask officer johnny blue ***** to get on the radio to dispatch and figure this ish out.

^ Well, Sean, the idea is that if a reasonable level of tinting is allowed, it would theoretically prevent people from getting their windows super dark. This way, everyone gets the benefit. We can tint and police won't have to worry about people with 5% as much.
I know the IL State Police were huge supporters of this bill.

I wish light tint was legal, btw I have never been pulled over for my ozinium underbody, i usually roll with green though.

Well, the tint will be legalized. It should be happening any day now. IL also allows a 6" sunstrip on the front window, there is no darkness restriction for the sunstrip.
As far as getting a ticket with legal tints? As was stated, keep the legislation in your glovebox along with a receipt with the tint percentage. You should be fine. Most LEOs won't know about the law until it's a done deal, so yea, you absolutely can still be ticketed for it until it's signed. Once the law officially changes, most LEOs will be notified about the change.
