How to Convince Lawmakers to Amend California's Window Tint Law

[fightyourticket]

My question involves vehicle maintenance laws for the State of: CALIFORNIA

I AM ATTEMPTING TO CONTACT AS MANY LAWMAKERS AS POSSIBLE TO AMEND CVC 26708 califonia's tinted window law, TO ALLOW ANY PERSON in the united states WITH a legitimate/verifiable medical condition that requires them to be shaded/shielded from the sun be exempt from the CVC 26708. The person must have a licensed medical professional write a letter that is notarized stating the specific person MUST BE SHIELDED/SHADED FROM THE SUN DUE TO A MEDICAL CONDITION, and what his/her medical condition is. IT IS MY BELIEVE THAT having the letter notarized will assist law enforcement in weeding out bogus/fraudulent letters presented to them at the traffic stop. There is a need for this type of change/amendment. I am requesting assistance from the Public/POLICE/SKIN CANCER SURVIVORS, AND ANYONE ELSE WHO WILL HELP WITH THIS. I AM A PERSON WHO HAS A LEGITIMATE MEDICAL CONDITION WHO GETS STOPPED BASED OFF MY DARK TINTED WINDOWS EVEN THO I CARRY A LETTER IT HOLDS NO WEIGHT IN CALIFORNA BUT SOME OFFICERS WILL USE THE SPIRIT OF THE LAW INSTEAD OF THE LETTER OF THE LAW. it is an expensive ticket $195.00 even tho it carries no points. $25 if you remove the tint. I AM CONFIDENT IT WILL PASS.

You can seek to propose an initiative and file it with the Attorney General. If you obtain enough signatures, it can be placed on the ballot.

You can also speak to your legislator and ask him or her to craft such legislation.

However, a notarized statement does not show medical need, only that the notary saw the ID of the person that signed the document.

Also, CVC 26708(b)(10) already provides for a medical exemption:

(10) Sun screening devices meeting the requirements of Section
26708.2 installed on the side windows on either side of the vehicle's
front seat, if the driver or a passenger in the front seat has in
his or her possession a letter or other document signed by a licensed
physician and surgeon certifying that the person must be shaded from
the sun due to a medical condition, or has in his or her possession
a letter or other document signed by a licensed optometrist
certifying that the person must be shaded from the sun due to a
visual condition. The devices authorized by this paragraph shall not
be used during darkness.

Though the device must be removed during darkness.

Well, there is already an exemption like cdwjava posted.

I understand your frustration with the way the law is and I applaud you for trying to change it thought the proper channels. My daughter has a condition which UV rays adversely effect her. I had the back windows of my car blacked out and I wanted to get a clear, UV tint on the front windows...Do you know that virtually no place sells clear UV tint in CA? Every excuse I got from the installers were basically the same..."No one wants clear tint, that's why we don't order it." It's annoying...

So, if you can find clear UV tint, it solves most of the problems associated with sun exposure with about a 99% chance of never getting stopped for a window tint violation.
