  1  1    Section 1.  Section 321.438, subsection 2, Code 2003, is
  1  2 amended to read as follows:
  1  3    2.  A person shall not operate on the highway a motor
  1  4 vehicle equipped with a front windshield, a side window to the
  1  5 immediate right or left of the driver, or a side-wing forward
  1  6 of and to the left or right of the driver which is excessively
  1  7 dark or reflective so that it is difficult for a person
  1  8 outside the motor vehicle to see into the motor vehicle
  1  9 through the windshield, window, or sidewing, unless the person
  1 10 requires dark windows for medical reasons and has been
  1 11 exempted pursuant to rules adopted by the department.  The
  1 12 department shall adopt rules establishing a minimum measurable
  1 13 standard of transparency which shall apply to violations of
  1 14 this subsection.  For purposes of this subsection,
  1 15 "excessively dark or reflective" means that the level of light
  1 16 transmittance is less than eighty percent.  
  1 17                           EXPLANATION
  1 18    This bill amends Code section 321.438 to require that the
  1 19 windshield, front side windows, and front sidewings of a motor
  1 20 vehicle have a light transmittance level of at least 80
  1 21 percent.  A motor vehicle operator who violates this
  1 22 requirement is subject to a scheduled fine of $15.  A person
  1 23 may be exempted from the requirement for medical reasons
  1 24 pursuant to rules adopted by the state department of
  1 25 transportation.  Currently, the minimum measurable standard of
  1 26 transparency of 70 percent and the requirements for a medical
  1 27 exemption are established by administrative rule as required
  1 28 by Code section 321.438.
