Bill Summary
AN ACT to amend the public health law, in relation to increasing the age required to use ultraviolet radiation devices to twenty-one years of age
AI Summary
This bill amends the New York Public Health Law to increase the minimum age for using ultraviolet radiation devices (such as tanning beds) from 18 to 21 years old. Currently, tanning facility owners, operators, and employees are prohibited from allowing individuals under 18 to use tanning devices. The proposed legislation would extend this restriction to include individuals under 21 years of age, effectively preventing anyone younger than 21 from using tanning beds. The change is likely motivated by health concerns, as prolonged exposure to ultraviolet radiation can increase the risk of skin cancer and other harmful health effects. The bill would take effect immediately upon becoming law, meaning the new age restriction would be implemented right away.
