Optometrists can certify tint exemptions

Beginning July 1, 2026, a Mississippi-licensed optometrist can attest that a person has a condition seriously worsened by minimal sunlight. The person must own or operate the vehicle, or regularly ride in it as a passenger. Applicants must submit a signed affidavit, an optometrist’s or physician’s attestation, and proof of vehicle ownership or an owner’s affidavit. The exemption is not automatic, and the certificate must be displayed on the dashboard.
