Vehicle Window Tint Laws by State 2025

Comprehensive, website‑ready chart of legal Visible Light Transmission (VLT) and related rules for passenger cars and MPVs (SUVs/vans) in all 50 states + D.C. Values are reported as NET (film + glass) unless otherwise noted. Last reviewed: August 24, 2025.

Disclaimer: This is an informational summary. Always verify with current state statutes and enforcement guidance. Louisiana was updated to reflect Act 143 (2025), lowering front‑side VLT to 25% as of Aug 1, 2025. Some states include addenda (e.g., Illinois, Texas) and vehicle‑type nuances. “MPV” = multi‑purpose vehicles (SUVs/vans/pickups as defined by state law). “AS‑1” refers to the manufacturer’s AS‑1 line on the windshield.
