Delaware, the First State, is now the 11th state to ban the use of tanning beds by minors.
Delaware now joins Vermont, California, Hawaii, Illinois, Louisiana, Minnesota, Oregon, Nevada, Texas, and Washington by passing legislation that prohibits minors under the age of 18 from indoor tanning. The law will go into effect on January 1, 2015.
Prior to this bill, kids aged 14 to 18 in Delaware could use tanning beds with parental permission.
