What Is a Window Tint Medical Exemption?
A window tint medical exemption in Florida is an official document that permits you to apply darker window tint to your vehicle than what state law normally allows. Under Florida Statutes §316.2953 and §316.2954, individuals with qualifying medical conditions can receive this exemption when a licensed physician certifies that darker tint is medically necessary.
Without an exemption, Florida law restricts front side windows to 28% VLT VLT (Visible Light Transmission) and back side windows to 15% VLT VLT. With an approved medical exemption, you can legally have darker tint that provides the UV and light protection your medical condition requires.
