North Dakota seems ready to allow for more window tint on the front windows of vehicles to lower the amount of light the windows let in from 50% down to 35%.

 This law would bring North Dakota into alignment with the window tint laws of 36 other U.S. states, including neighboring states

Supporters of the bill say the increased amount of tint would help cars stay cooler in the summers, protect against the effects of bright days or modern LED headlights, and keep out-of-state travelers from being ticketed.

“We don’t want to punish our out-of-state travelers for following their laws but not our law,” Vetter said. “Tourism is the third-largest industry in North Dakota, so let’s not punish these out-of-state travelers.”

There has been no opposition testimony submitted online, and the bill received do-pass recommendations from the House and now the Senate transportation committees with votes of 12-2 and 5-0, respectively. It has also passed the full House in an 89-2 vote.

The bill now goes to the Senate floor. If it passes, it will be sent to the governor to be signed into law. If signed, the law would take effect on Aug. 1, 2025.
