Get an Exemption for Window Tinting
People with certain medical conditions may qualify for an exemption to Georgia's window tint law.
If you have a qualifying medical condition that requires you to operate or ride in a vehicle with darker window tinting than allowed by law, you may apply for a limited exemption from Georgia's window tint requirements.
Medical conditions that can be adequately addressed through protective eyewear or legal-limit window tint that blocks 99.9% of UV rays aren't eligible for an exemption. Conditions based solely on family medical history are also not eligible.
