01:41 PM -- House Bill 12-1170

Representative Peniston, prime sponsor, presented House Bill 12-1170. The bill requires persons under the age of 18 to have the consent of a parent or legal guardian prior to patronizing an establishment for purposes of using an artificial tanning device. The consenting parent of a minor under 14 years of age must remain on site for the duration of any tanning session. Unless withdrawn by a parent or legal guardian, a consent form is valid for 6 months.

The Department of Public Health and Environment (DPHE) is required to develop a standard consent form. The form must be made available on the DPHE web site and be available for download at no charge. The DPHE must establish guidance on required proof-of-age documentation to be provided by a minor seeking access to a tanning facility or artificial tanning device.

The DPHE may assess a penalty of up to $200 per day if it finds that an owner, employee, or operator has failed to comply with the bill's requirements. Penalty fees are credited to the Tanning Device Education Fund. The State Board of Health may adopt rules, at its discretion, to implement the bill.

01:42 PM

Representative Peniston stated that her bill needed additional work and asked the committee to postpone the bill indefinitely.
