HI HB844

Lowers the minimum allowable light transmittance for window tinting on front side wing vents, front side windows, rear side windows, and rear windows from 35% (±6%) to 25% (±5%)

Cites Hawaii's tropical location with intense sunlight, high temperatures, and increased glare as justification for allowing darker window tints

Darker window tinting would reduce interior vehicle temperatures, block harmful ultraviolet light, and protect vehicle interiors from sun damage

Takes effect upon approval by the governor
