does this mean I have to take the tint off or can the ticket be dismissed for having the error of stating it as an moving violation?
It's aninfraction of the vehicle code, does not have points attached to it, and should be correctable.
If you fail to remove the tinting and have the citation signed off (AND return it to the court with the appropriate fees), then you could be stopped and cited again. If cited again, there is another handy CVC section for failing to correct a previous violation ... you can effectively compound your problems.
Take the tinting off, get the violation signed off as corrected, pay the court fee, and go forth and tint no more.
