An act to amend the public health law, in relation to restrictions on the use of ultraviolet radiation devices and providing for the repeal of certain provisions of such law relating thereto

Purpose

To prohibit children under eighteen years of age from using an ultraviolet radiation device

Summary of provisions

This bill repeals subdivisions 2 and 3 of section 3555 of the public health law for persons under the age of eighteen to receive parental consent to use an ultraviolet tanning device.

Existing law

Current law prohibits children-under fourteen years of age from using an ultraviolet radiation device and requires those between the ages of fourteen and eighteen to receive parental consent before using such devices.
