House Bill No. by Representative Deshotel amends the regulations concerning motor vehicle sun screening devices in Louisiana. The bill specifically modifies R.S. 32:361.1(C)(1) by reducing the allowable light transmission percentage for sun blocking films or devices on the front side windows of vehicles. The previous requirement of a minimum light transmission of forty percent has been decreased to twenty-five percent. Additionally, the bill maintains the requirement for side windows behind the driver to have a light transmission of at least twenty-five percent and for rearmost windows to have a minimum of twelve percent.

Furthermore, the legislation stipulates that all sun screening devices must not exceed a luminous reflectance of twenty percent. This amendment aims to enhance visibility and safety for drivers while still allowing for some level of sun protection through the use of screening devices. The changes reflect a balance between driver comfort and road safety considerations.
