Window Tint Laws.
STATE WINDOW TINTING RULES & LAWS
Vehicle window tinting is almost always regulated under state law, and the applicable statutes can usually be found in a state's vehicle or traffic code. The applicable vehicle code section in your state may discuss vehicle window tinting as "Material Obstructing or Reducing Driver's View" (in California), "Windshields and windows obscured by non-transparent materials" (in Massachusetts), or "Sun-shading or tinting films or applications" (in Virginia).
