This bill prohibits anyone under the age of 18 from using a tanning bed or other tanning device, regardless of parental permission. The prohibition does not include any phototherapy device prescribed by a doctor to diagnose or treat a disease or injury. The bill requires tanning facility owners to obtain a permit to operate and to post a notice developed by the Department of Health and Senior Services at all tanning facilities. The bill also requires that a trained operator be present to assist customers at all times, that customers use protective eyewear, and that each tanning bed or device can be turned off by the customer while in use.
This bill is similar to HB 518 (2019).
