No, 15% window tint is illegal in Nebraska. State law mandates front side windows allow over 35% light transmittance, while rear windows may use darker tints if equipped with side mirrors. Violations incur fines up to $200 under Nebraska Revised Statutes §60-6,245.
Key Regulations for 15% Window Tint in Nebraska
- Front Side Windows: Must transmit more than 35% of visible light; 15% fails this requirement.
- Rear Side Windows: Permitted up to 20% if vehicle has dual side mirrors, but 15% remains non-compliant without exemption.
- Medical Exemptions: Nebraska does not recognize medical waivers for tint darkness; only factory-installed or aftermarket tints meeting 35%+ standards are lawful.
Local enforcement prioritizes front window compliance, with the Nebraska State Patrol issuing citations during routine traffic stops. The 2026 Nebraska Legislature has no pending bills to amend §60-6,245, reinforcing the 35% threshold. Aftermarket tint installers risk liability for non-compliant applications, as Nebraska’s Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) rejects registration renewals for vehicles with illegal tints during inspections.
