Window tint · Nebraska

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.

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.
