Senate passes bill regulating teens’ use of tanning salons

Teenagers hoping for a bronze glow during prom season could face a cloudy outlook next year.
North Dakota lawmakers have approved a bill banning teens under 18 from using indoor tanning salons without written permission from their parents.
Customers under 14 will not be allowed to indoor tan without a written order from a physician and without being accompanied by a parent.
The bill also requires indoor tanning salons in the state to be regulated and requires salons to advise customers of potential harmful effects.
