       extending six (6) inches below and parallel to the exposed windshield;
  (b)  Nonreflective window tinting film or sunscreening devices that have a
       light transmission of not less than thirty-five percent (35%) with a
       tolerance limit of plus or minus three percent (3%) and a luminous
       reflectance of no more than thirty-five percent (35%) with a tolerance
       limit of plus or minus three percent (3%) may be applied to the front side
       vents, front side windows to the immediate right and left of the driver,
       and the rear window;
  (c)  Nonreflective window tinting film or sunscreening devices that have a
       light transmission of not less than twenty percent (20%) with a tolerance
       limit of plus or minus three percent (3%) and a luminous reflectance of no
       more than thirty-five percent (35%) with a tolerance limit of plus or
       minus three percent (3%) may be applied to the side windows to the rear of

  (e)  Light transmission is the ratio of the amount of total light,
       expressed in percentages, which is allowed to pass through the product or
       material to the amount of total light falling on the product or material;
   (f)  Luminous reflectance is the ratio of the amount of total light,
       expressed in percentages, which is reflected outward by the product or
       material to the amount of total light falling on the product or material.

(2)  No person shall operate on the public highways, sell, or offer to
     sell any motor vehicle with a windshield or windows which are not in
     compliance with the provisions of this section.

(3)  Persons who own a motor vehicle with a windshield or windows not in

     percent (3%) for the front windshield and not less than twenty percent (20%)
     plus or minus three percent (3%) for the windows, with a luminous reflectance
     of no more than thirty-five percent (35%) plus or minus three percent (3%) in
     each instance, is permitted for a motor vehicle operated by, or carrying as a
     passenger, a person who possesses written verification from a licensed
     physician that the operator or passenger must be protected from exposure to
     sunlight or heat for medical reasons associated with past or current
     treatment; such written verification shall be carried in the vehicle.

(5)  Nothing in this section shall be construed to make illegal the
     operation or sale of any motor vehicle, the windshield or windows of which are
     composed of, covered by, or treated with, any material, substance, system, or
     component with which the motor vehicle was sold when new or could have been
