Yesterday, Mississippi Gov. Haley Barbour signed a bill into law that restricts the use of tanning beds by those under the age of 18.
House Bill 214 mandates that children under 14 must have a parent or guardian's written permission and that the parent must be present at the facility while the child is in a tanning bed. It also mandates that teens between the ages of 14 and 18 have written permission.
The bill goes into effect July 1.
