MS HB27

Eliminates the medical exemption certificate as an exception to Mississippi's window tint law, removing the ability for individuals with light-sensitive medical conditions to legally use darkened windows.

Requires all tinted windows to have a certification label affixed to the lower left corner of the windshield after passing a light transmittance test (minimum 28% light transmittance).

Establishes a $5.00 fee for tint inspection testing, with $2.00 retained by inspection stations and $3.00 sent to the Department of Public Safety for operational expenses.

Increases penalties for installation of non-compliant tinted film or darkening material, and prohibits alteration or reproduction of approved labels, with violations punishable by up to $1,000 fine and/or three months in county jail.

Limits enforcement of window tint violations to Mississippi Department of Public Safety officers and municipal law enforcement in municipalities with populations of 2,000 or more.

Takes effect July 1, 2018.
