Window Tint
RSA 266:58-a — no aftermarket tint on the windshield but a top strip, and 35 percent elsewhere
Driving a vehicle registered in the state with aftermarket tint on the windshield is unlawful, except a strip no wider than 6 inches at the very top.
Who handles this in New Hampshire: New Hampshire Bar Association Lawyer Referral Service; and legal aid programs and the state offices, listed in the New Hampshire directory.
Where aftermarket tint is applied to the windows behind the driver, light transmittance may not be less than 35 percent, with the exceptions for the rear windows of multipurpose vehicles and pickups that the section sets.
A person who needs tint for a medical reason may apply for a special permit. A violation of the section is a violation.
