*Missouri Law allows window tint on the windows to the immediate right and left of the driver of 35 percent, plus or minus three percent light transmittance. Any tint with less light transmittance requires a physician's prescription indicating the serious medical condition that exists and the specific tint percentage needed above the standard allowance. A permit is required to operate a vehicle with tinting applied with less light transmittance than the 35 percent, plus or minus three percent. The permit may be issued by the Highway Patrol if the applicant requesting the permit has obtained a written prescription in the name of the vehicle owner from a physician, issued within one year, stating the specific tint percentage needed due to the specified medical disorder.
