Medical exceptions to vehicle window tinting restrictions can be made permanent

While Minnesota has restrictions on the level of window tinting on vehicles, exceptions are made when a physician determines that a driver’s light sensitivity requires deeper tinting. But such allowances have been required to expire after two years, necessitating renewals.

Effective July 1, 2025, the medical exception to tinting restrictions will not have an expiration date if a doctor determines that the driver’s condition is permanent.

Rep. Jim Joy (R-Hawley) and Sen. Jeff Howe (R-Rockville) sponsor the new law.
