Louisiana window tint rules

Louisiana law (R.S. 32:361.1) sets a 25% minimum light transmission for front side windows, down from 40% after an August 1, 2025 amendment, plus a 20% reflectance cap. Ordinary cars must keep rear side windows at 25% and the rear window at 12%, but trucks, motor homes, and multipurpose passenger vehicles (an SUV or van only if it qualifies as one) have no minimum for windows behind the driver.

Summary checked against La. R.S. 32:361.1 (as amended by Acts 2025, No. 143 / HB 119, eff. Aug. 1, 2025) on 2026-09-23. Verify current statutes before quoting.
