It is old news that indoor tanning systems are bad for your health, but it is new news that states are starting to take action! Minnesota just became the 8th state to ban indoor tanning for teens, behind Vermont, California, Illinois, Oregon, Nevada, Texas and Washington. On May 23, Governor Mark Dayton Signed HF2402 into law and will be effective August 1st. The three main parts of the this law are 1) No one under the age of 18 can use a commercial indoor tanning facility in the state, 2) All tanning facilities must prominently display a sign to that effect and 3) Tanning facility owners or operators who violate the law are subject to a misdemeanor penalty as determined by the judge. To read more about this here is an article I found! Let me know what you all think! Another way to stay safe besides avoiding tanning beds is to have UV protective swimwear, so please check out SwimZip, here is our website
