I've never heard of an actual license plate they issue for tint, last I saw you had to have a dr. note stating that you had medical reasons for the tint and on top of that the note was only good for year so you had to have the dr. rewrite one on a yearly basis. Things could have changed though

My brother said that his friend told him that you go to DMV and pay the $120 amount and this allows you to have tints any percent....The license plate looks like a regular plate but the numbers and letters are black instead of red.....

The DMV just recently started doing this.... Some kind of new tint law...

You're right: there's a new license plate in Illinois designated with a "WT" at the end, which notes that you're permitted to have tint per a medical condition. (Edit: Mike beat me to it. )

In related news, HB3325 passed the house recently, and is currently being considered in the senate. Essentially, if this passes (it's already through the senate transportation committee, and the votes suggest there is zero opposition to this), you can go one of three ways:
  • Same as today: nothing up front, dark as you want in the back
  • Up to 50% (+/- 5%) in the front, and up to 30% (+/- 5%) in the back
  • Up to 35% all around.
This is very good news, and apparently, the FOP is actually on-board with this.
