The tint businesses have some good lobbyists! This is their recession bailout!
And I just got tint... nice. I thought I heard him say he charges $100 an hour to remove it.

From the current version of the bill:
SECTION 3. (a) The change in law made by this Act applies
only to an offense committed on or after the effective date of this
Act. For purposes of this section, an offense was committed before
the effective date of this Act if any element of the offense
occurred before that date.
(b) An offense committed before the effective date of this
Act is covered by the law in effect when the offense was committed,
and the former law is continued in effect for that purpose.

A glance at the bill seems to say that if you have existing tint installed that meets todays standards that you'll be allowed to keep it.

I'm glad you found that...
I bet if it passes you'll see some people lining up to get the darker tint done before September.

Sounds like something that will be hard to enforce... How many people can verify -on hand mind you- that their tint was previous to this law going into effect? Sounds like nonsense. Kinda like keeping your drivers license up to date.. 'Oh, I just moved...'

“It’s a safety issue,” said State Rep. Larry Phillips, R-Sherman. “It’s for law enforcement and other citizens. When we’re driving down the road, we communicate with each other even though we’re not looking at each other. When you’re too dark, you lose communication between drivers.”
Yeah Right... how many cop cars tint is sooo dark you can't see inside their cars...let me see... ALL of THEM!!!!!!!!!!!

The bill would not apply to limousines, taxis, some commercial vehicles and police cars.
