Based on complaints from citizens the Parsons Police Department wants to remind citizens about the State's window tint law.

Kansas statute 8-1749a states the total light transmission shall not be less than 35% when a sun screening device is used in conjunction with other existing sun screening devices. Citations can be written for violation of this law. Also, when purchasing a new vehicle, it is the responsibility of the vehicle's new owner to ensure that it meets Kansas' law, not the responsibility of the dealership.

The PPD is advising that they have window tint meters to utilize during traffic stops to determine if window tint complies. Historically, it has been rare for a window tint citation to be issued, but in response to citizen complaints, this violation will be added to general enforcement.
