Attachment(s):
Maine CDC is proposing amendments to its Rules Relating to Tanning Facilities that include updating the recent Maine statute (22 MRS § 689-A(2)) to prohibit minors from using a tanning device. These proposed amendments will further protect individuals from the harmful effects of exposure to UV radiation from indoor tanning, by prohibiting minors from using indoor ultraviolet tanning facilities and by requiring other new customer safety additions in Sections 4 and 6 that include further customer consent and notifications, restrictions to exposure-time controls for facility personnel, limitations of tanning-facility use to every 24 hours, requirements for facilities to provide free eye protective wear, and stricter controls to ensure customers are at least 18 years of age. Maine CDC also proposes to update the rule title to “Tanning Facilities Rule”, to align with Maine CDC rule formatting convention and to add a definition for Phototherapy device and Tanning facility, for clarity, as well as update two existing definitions: Tanning equipment and Tanning facility.
