The bill establishes new regulations for tanning facilities in Iowa, specifically concerning the use of tanning devices by minors. It prohibits individuals under the age of 16 from using tanning devices altogether. For those aged 16 and 17, the bill stipulates that they may only use tanning devices if their parent or guardian is present at the facility and provides written consent. This consent must include a warning about the increased risk of melanoma associated with UV tanning devices, particularly for younger individuals.

Additionally, the written consent provided by the parent or guardian remains valid for future visits to the tanning facility but can be revoked at any time. The bill also outlines penalties for violations, which may include civil penalties up to $1,000 and potential injunctions against further violations, enforceable by the department of inspections, appeals, and licensing.
