The question about tint come up on another forum I frequency. I've always thought the front seat windows was a max of 50% tint. Someone else said no and posted this o.r.c. below. Is this the latest and what's your thoughts on it?

4513.241 Using tinted glass and other vision obscuring materials.

(A) The director of public safety, in accordance with Chapter 119. of the Revised Code, shall adopt rules governing the use of tinted glass, and the use of transparent, nontransparent, translucent, and reflectorized materials in or on motor vehicle windshields, side windows, sidewings, and rear windows that prevent a person of normal vision looking into the motor vehicle from seeing or identifying persons or objects inside the motor vehicle.

Not to beat a dead horse but it doesn't state a specific percentage of tint. Is 50 percent in a o.r.c. or is that just a guide line?
