Amendment offered in the House on February 26, 2014
Persons under 18 years of age are prohibited from using a UV tanning device without a
written prescription for UV radiation treatment from a licensed physician. A "UV tanning
device" is equipment that emits radiation used for the tanning of the skin, including a
sunlamp, tanning booth, or tanning bed. It does not include a phototherapy device. Proof of
age must be satisfied with a driver's license or other government-issued identification
containing the date of birth and photograph.
The owner of a tanning facility that permits a minor to use a tanning device is liable for a
civil penalty not to exceed $250 per violation. A "tanning facility" is a location or business
that provides people access to UV tanning devices for a fee..
