BILL NUMBER:S2917A TITLE OF BILL: An act to amend the public health law, in relation to the use of ultraviolet radiation devices by persons sixteen years of age and under PURPOSE: To prohibit children sixteen years of age and under from using an ultraviolet radiation device SUMMARY OF PROVISIONS: This bill amends Subdivision 4 of section 3555 of the public health law, as added by chapter 573 of the laws of 2006, to prohibit a person sixteen years of age and under from using an ultraviolet radiation device. JUSTIFICATION: Skin cancer is the most common form of cancer in the United States. According to the American Cancer Society, the number of melanomas diagnosed in the U.S has doubled since 1973, and more than one million cases of non-melanoma cell cancers were expected in 2009.

Current law allows children between the ages of fourteen and eighteen to use indoor tanning
