Plain-language change summary

The recent changes to Bill SB 99 allow for individuals with medical conditions requiring protection from the sun to apply for window tinting without the previous prohibitions after set dates. Now, those with a physician's certification can maintain their window tinting as long as they keep their certification up to date and submit a copy to the Secretary of State. This matters because it makes it easier for people with certain health issues to comply with the law while still obtaining the necessary protection from sunlight.
