New Tint Law in Illinois !!!!!!!!!!!!

**Razorecko** · 05-22-09 10:23 PM

Hey guys just heard off another forum...here's the bill

http://www.ilga.gov/legislation/Bill...ionID=76&GA=96

almost done, than it gets sent to Quin's office to get signed...the basics are that now you'd be able to have...

35% tint all around OR
50% fronts and whatever darkness rear...

I hope this passes. Although i never got harassed for my 35%'s right now its one less thing to worry about in this nazi state

**odla** · 05-22-09 10:33 PM

i just did 5% all around lol no problems so far looks awsome

**Razorecko** · 05-22-09 10:35 PM

lol i don't know how you see at night. 20% or lower and my visibility sucked at night....though i did live in the sticks and the star light doesnt do much for lighting

Nice. I'm definitely queuing up a 35% kit for my Deville.

They never used to give a darn, but in New York City Cops are now busting chops for tint.
I have 20% and that's illegal. 80 buck ticket.
I always had a Florida plate and I'm gonna do that again.

woohoo almost there:

To the Honorable Members of the

Illinois House of Representatives

96th General Assembly

I hereby return House Bill 3325 with a specific recommendation for change. I thank the sponsors for their hard work on this legislation. While I approve of the objective of this legislation, a technical change is necessary to correct a flaw in the bill as drafted. If this bill were to become law as written, driving multipurpose passenger vehicles (sport utilities) that have their rear windows factory tinted would violate the law.

Therefore, pursuant to Article IV, Section 9(e) of the Illinois Constitution of 1970, I hereby return House Bill 3325, entitled “AN ACT concerning transportation”, with the following specific recommendation for change:

on page 6, by replacing lines 7 through 13 with “(3) on multipurpose passenger vehicles, as defined by Section 1-148.3b of this Code, with a nonreflective tint originally applied by the manufacturer on the windows to the rear of the driver’s seat, the side windows immediately adjacent to each side of the driver may be treated with a nonreflective tint that allows at least 50% light transmittance, with a 5% variance observed by a law enforcement official metering the light transmittance.”.

With these changes, House Bill 3325 will have my approval. I respectfully request your concurrence.

Sincerely,

PAT QUINN

Governor

Is there a "grandfather" clause to the bill? If not, you're probably stuck paying this fine.

yea i already paid it - i knew that the chicago cops knew it would be on its way out the door soon so they made their quota's while they could. I had no city sticker and no front plate but those fines were too small

**musclesbmf** · 09-10-09 02:28 PM

I guess my 8% is way over the limit... lol

welll the front plate is a non-moving violation. So from what i know from expierance is that they can't pull you over strictly for it. You have to be doing something else like speeding, exp tags, etc

don't know IL law, but in NY thats absolutely fair game to stop you, same with lighting (tails, brakes, headlights, failure to dim etc)
