Bill > A01370

This bill increases the minimum age requirement for using ultraviolet radiation devices (such as tanning beds) from eighteen to twenty-one years old in the state of New York. Specifically, the legislation amends a section of the public health law to prohibit owners, operators, and employees of tanning facilities from permitting anyone under the age of twenty-one to use ultraviolet radiation devices. This change aims to further protect young people from potential health risks associated with tanning, such as skin damage and increased risk of skin cancer. By raising the age limit from eighteen to twenty-one, the bill extends the existing restrictions and aligns with other age-related health regulations that seek to limit exposure to potentially harmful practices among younger individuals.
