Since window tinting laws vary from state to state, your exemption may not be recognized outside of New York. It’s essential to check with other states if you plan to travel.
If your medical condition changes or you no longer require the exemption, you may need to inform the DMV. Falsifying information or misuse can result in revocation of the exemption.
