The American Suntanning Association, in calling for higher-level, cooler-headed discussion of all UV-related policies, lobbied lawmakers in 31 states in 2013, asking them to consider surveys showing that two-thirds of under-18 clients will tan more aggressively outdoors or will purchase home tanning units if told they can no longer tan in salons with their parents\u2019 consent. ASA has pledged to work constructively with legislators in 2014 to shape legislation on this topic.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/smarttan.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/01\/bilde.jpg\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright size-medium wp-image-14151\" alt=\"bilde\" src=\"https:\/\/smarttan.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/01\/bilde-300x201.jpg\" width=\"300\" height=\"201\" \/><\/a>Lance Donnelly, owner of Oregon-based salon chain Tan Republic, told the Statesman-Journal he worries about unintended health consequences of the new Oregon law. \u201cI fear the new law will force 17-year-olds who are planning a trip for spring break or going to a prom to go out and use personal tanning beds and get fried, which is absolutely the worst outcome. I don\u2019t think that\u2019s what the Legislature had in mind.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The state does allow teens to tan if they have a doctor\u2019s permission.
