What’s in it

AI summary Tanning businesses would be banned from letting anyone under 18 use tanning devices. People between 18 and 19 can only use them if a parent or guardian is present and gives written permission that explains the dangers of UV tanning. Businesses that break these rules could face fines or legal orders to stop.1

Read the official explanation

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.

Changed since by amendments S-5013, H-1077; see Amendments.
