Nebraska: Everything You Need to Know

Nebraska Window Tint Exemption Laws
Nebraska's window tinting laws are governed under Nebraska Revised Statute § 60-6,257. Unlike many other states, Nebraska has not established a medical exemption program. All drivers, regardless of medical condition, must comply with the same standard tint limits under state law.
- Nebraska window tint laws were originally enacted in 1989 under LB 155 and last amended in 1993 under LB 370.
- There is currently no medical exemption provision in Nebraska's window tint statutes.
- No state agency administers a certification program or issues exemption certificates for window tint.
- Violations are a Class V misdemeanor for vehicle owners/operators (NRS § 60-6,258).
- Installers who apply non-compliant tint are guilty of a Class III misdemeanor (NRS § 60-6,259).
-
Policy Timeline
1989 – Original Tint Law Enacted
- Governor Kay Orr signs LB 155 into law, establishing Nebraska's first window tint restrictions. The statute sets baseline rules for windshield and window sunscreening with no medical exemption provision included.
1990 – First Amendment Passed
- LB 1119 amends the original tint statute with minor technical updates. No medical exemption language is introduced, and the core restrictions remain unchanged.
1993 – Statute Recodified
- LB 370 reorganizes Nebraska's vehicle code, recodifying the tint law as NRS § 60-6,257, the version that remains in effect today. Medical exemption provisions are again omitted from the final text.
2006 – Enforcement Framework Updated
- Nebraska updates its tint enforcement standards to reflect modern VLT measurement practices. Despite many other states adopting medical exemption programs during this period, Nebraska makes no such addition.
Present Day – No Exemption Program Exists
- Nebraska remains one of the few states with no medical window tint exemption pathway. NRS §§ 60-6,257 through 60-6,259 contain no provision for physician certification or darker tint for photosensitive patients.
-
Legal Tint Limits
Nebraska law sets specific tint limits under NRS § 60-6,257. Because no medical exemption program exists, these limits apply to all drivers without exception.
Standard Nebraska Tint Limits
- Windshield: Non-reflective tint permitted only above the AS-1 line. No sunscreening material may be applied below the AS-1 line for any driver.
- Front Side Windows: Must allow more than 35% VLT. Luminous reflectance may not exceed 35%.
- Back Side Windows: Minimum 20% VLT for passenger cars. Luminous reflectance may not exceed 35%.
- Rear Window: Minimum 20% VLT for passenger cars. Luminous reflectance may not exceed 35%.
- Multipurpose Vehicles, Vans & Buses: No VLT minimum on rear and back side windows.
- Prohibited Colors: Red, yellow, and amber tints are not permitted on the windshield.

FAQs
-
Why isn't TintedMD available in Nebraska?
Nebraska's window tint statutes (NRS § 60-6,257) do not include a medical exemption program. Because no legal pathway exists for physician-certified darker tint, TintedMD cannot currently provide certification services in the state.
-
Can I drive with darker tint in Nebraska if I have a medical condition?
No. Nebraska law makes no exception for medical conditions. All drivers must comply with standard tint limits of 35% VLT on front side windows and 20% VLT on rear and back side windows for passenger cars, regardless of any physician documentation.
-
Is Nebraska likely to introduce a medical window tint exemption program?
No legislation has been introduced to amend NRS § 60-6,257 to include a medical exemption provision. TintedMD is actively monitoring the Nebraska Unicameral Legislature for any relevant bill activity and will notify waitlist members immediately if that changes.
-
What happens if I get pulled over for dark tint in Nebraska?
Driving with non-compliant window tint in Nebraska is a Class V misdemeanor under NRS § 60-6,258. The installer who applied the tint can also face a separate Class III misdemeanor charge under NRS § 60-6,259.
-
Are there any legal alternatives for UV protection in Nebraska without an exemption?
Yes. High-grade ceramic window film can be installed at Nebraska's legal tint limits and still block up to 99% of harmful UV rays. While this does not allow for darker than permitted tint, it provides meaningful protection for photosensitive patients without risking a violation. For rear and back side windows, Nebraska already permits 20% VLT on passenger cars and any darkness on SUVs and vans, offering additional coverage without any exemption required.
