Default Tint Law in VA

I'm wanting to tint my windows and I'm wondering what is the law right now. But I have heard from a few people an a cop his self. That Virginia might pass the law where there won't be any window tint law or a front tag law. How true is this. Thanks Jimmy.

Iv never heard about them passing a law like that... I got a tint ticket a month or 2 ago. Mine measured 4% lol. I'm just going to pay it. But it is a misdemeanor if the tint is below 20%, I had no idea till my co worker told me...

Last i heard the front windows can't be darker then 50% which is retarded. However supposedly if u have a truck/suv you are allowed to have it darker. I have had dark tint over the years and got a ticket for it once even though i was pulled over for some other bs
