Window Tint
K.S.A. 8-1749a — total light transmission of at least 35%, nonreflective, and only a strip at the top of the windshield
- On the windshield, a sun screening device is nonreflective, not red, yellow or amber, and only along the top, no lower than the marked AS1 line.
- On the side windows and the rear window, it is nonreflective.
- With the existing glass, total light transmission is not less than 35%.
Who handles this in Kansas: Johnson County Bar Association, Find a Lawyer; and legal aid programs and the state offices, listed in the Kansas directory.
A clear film blocking ultraviolet rays, with a light transmittance of at least 78% and leaving the glass at the federal minimum of 70%, may be used with a signed statement from a physician or optometrist that it is necessary for the driver's or a passenger's health.
A ticket for the missing statement. A driver cited for not carrying the signed statement has 60 days to produce it in court or remove the film, and the court then dismisses the citation.
