What’s in it

This bill prohibits a tanning facility from allowing a person under years of age to use a tanning device. The bill also prohibits a tanning facility from allowing a person who is or years of age to use a tanning device unless the parent or guardian of the person is present and provides written consent, which must include a statement about the danger of UV tanning devices. A written consent remains valid for future visits but may be revoked at any time by the parent or guardian who provided it. By operation of law, a person who violates the bill is subject to enforcement actions by the department of inspections, appeals, and licensing, including a civil penalty not to exceed $1,000 and an injunction restraining any violation.
