The bill amends Section 31-23.3-5 of the General Laws regarding penalties for violations related to nontransparent windshields and windows. It introduces a tiered penalty system for individuals and businesses that install sunscreening materials not compliant with the law. Specifically, the bill stipulates that a first violation will incur a fine of $250, a second violation will result in a fine of $375, and a third or subsequent violation will lead to a fine of $500. This replaces the previous language that imposed a flat fine for each offense.

Additionally, the bill modifies the language concerning who can be fined for violations. It broadens the scope from just individuals to include firms, corporations, and other business entities that own or operate vehicles with noncompliant sunscreening devices. The act is set to take effect immediately upon passage.
