New NY Window Tint Regulations!?

Note the following:

http://abc7ny.com/politics/mayor-pol...lives/1621088/

Current NY window tint law requires the front two side windows to allow 70% of light through, but some articles regarding the new regulations reference that windows must not be tinted darker than 30%.

Please tell me the articles truly mean 30% and are not getting confused with the law requiring at least 70% of the light to pass.

Anyone able to find a copy of the proposed law?

Thanks.

Found the Bill: http://nyassembly.gov/leg/?default_f...&Memo=Y&Text=Y

Unfortunately, seems that windows allowing less than 70% of light through will fail inspection.

I've had 20% in MA for about 10 years (legal limit is 35%) and never gotten a ticket, and have a place that will inspect it for an extra $20 each year. Although cops here are much more relaxed with tint, as I've been pulled over a ridiculous amount of times for other (trivial) reasons and they never care

Thanks, but if this passes NY cars won't pass yearly inspections with anything darker than 70% tints. :|

Instead of this, the law should be that when pulled over, you have to turn on your emergency hazard lights, shut down your engine and roll down all windows, weather permitting; it’s what I do, and instruction to do so can be conveyed by the officer to the driver via loudspeaker, need be. I’m likely asking for too much though, and the people this Bill is to protect against wouldn't follow same anyway.
