Legislation

As an industry, indoor tanning is subject to various national, state and local legislation. On the national level, salons have seen a 10% excise tax added to UV services through healthcare reform. At the state level, different areas of the country face ongoing anti-tanning efforts with bills and laws that limit the rights of customers and parents, especially regarding teen tanners. Even locally, through inspections and other regulations, the industry is one that continually needs to promote education and build political support.
