Keeping minors away from tanning beds

tanning_bedThis is the second year I’ve proposed legislation aimed at making it more difficult for minors to use tanning beds. Study after study shows that this kind of UV exposure at such a young age can have devestating consequences later in life, including cancer.

I’ve been working with medical professionals such as dermatologists and others to spread the word around the capitol about this disturbing issue. I sincerely hope my bill is met with resounding support this session, and I’ll keep you apprised of its progress as it moves forward.
