State

Your tint's VLT (optional)

VLT (visible light transmission) is the share of light the film lets through; a lower number is darker. It is printed on the film packaging or your installation receipt. Leave it blank to just read the limits.

Nebraska legal tint limit, window by window

Front side windows

35% VLT min

At least 35% light transmission; luminous reflectance no more than 35%.

Back side windows

20% min

At least 20% light transmission; luminous reflectance no more than 35%.

Rear window

20% min

At least 20% light transmission on a passenger car; a multipurpose vehicle, van, or bus is exempt from the 20% floor behind the front seat.

Windshield

Clear below AS-1 (top 5 in strip)

Below the AS-1 line the material must be clear and transparent. Above the AS-1 line a strip is allowed if it is not red, yellow, or amber. The AS-1 line is the marked AS-1 line or a line 5 inches below and parallel to the top of the windshield, whichever is closer to the top..

Medical exemption

Section 60-6,257 contains no medical exemption, waiver, or physician-certification path for window tint. Aggregator sites describe a certificate process, but no such provision appears in the statute text.

Penalty

Section 60-6,257 does not set a fine amount. The Nebraska Judicial Branch waiver/fine schedule lists a $25 waiver amount for a tinted-windows violation under §§60-6,257 and 60-6,258.

Tint-meter tolerance

Not specified in statute

Enter your film's VLT above to check it against each Nebraska window limit, or read the limits as they stand.

The 20% floor behind the front seat does not apply to a multipurpose vehicle, van, or bus, so those rear windows may run any darkness (§60-6,257(1)(d)).

Film is sold by its own VLT, but police measure the installed darkness: the film combined with your factory glass, which reads darker than the film alone. These are the Nebraska figures stated as information, not a determination about any stop or ticket.

Informational only, not legal advice. Reflectivity limits, color bans, and vehicle-class exceptions can change the answer for a specific car. See the full rules, the exemption steps, and the citations on the Nebraska window tint reference, cited to Neb. Rev. Stat. §60-6,257.

How the Nebraska tint rules work

Nebraska keeps a bright front line: at least 35% on the front doors, one of the higher floors in the region. Behind the front seat the floor drops to 20%, and it lifts entirely for a multipurpose vehicle, van, or bus, which may run any darkness there. Watch the 2025 chatter, LB106 tried to loosen the front number to 20% but died in committee, so the 35% rule still stands. The statute itself carries no medical exemption.

This checker applies the Nebraska figures to the VLT you enter. It is informational only and not legal advice: reflectivity limits, color bans, and vehicle-class exceptions can change the answer for a specific car. For the full rules, the shades table, and the citations, see the Nebraska window tint reference, cited to Neb. Rev. Stat. §60-6,257.
