Rep Power: 35 | Howard County in Maryland moves to ban under 18 tanning Teenagers younger than 18 would be banned from using indoor tanning beds if Howard County officials get their way. County Executive Ken Ulman and Dr. Peter L. Beilenson, the county's health officer, will ask for new regulations that would prohibit youths from using the beds because they increase the risk of skin cancer, the officials said in a news release. A news conference is scheduled for Tuesday to explain the proposed regulations. - Larry Carson Source Link: http://www.baltimoresun.com/news/mar...,2684821.story More here... this one actually gives the tone that it's already law. http://www.nbcwashington.com/news/lo...-59735372.html

Rep Power: 26 | Re: Howard County in Maryland moves to ban under 18 tanning Current Maryland Regulations: http://www.dsd.state.md.us/comar/Sub...rch=10.52.06.* Short story: tanning clients under the age of 18 need written parental permission. Local jurisdictions may have stricter regs (see: Montgomery County, for example.) Call John Overstreet @ ITA ASAP. Immediately Organize and Mobilize all Howard County salon owners. Good Luck.

Rep Power: 35 | Re: Howard County in Maryland moves to ban under 18 tanning The Health Boards unanimous vote means new regulations countywide take affect Thursday. It also positions the health department as the first in the nation to ban teen use of tanning beds. http://www.myfoxdc.com/dpp/news/loca...r-teens-111009

Rep Power: 35 | Re: Howard County in Maryland moves to ban under 18 tanning The Baltimore County Council took public comment Tuesday on legislation that would create a similar ban. The seven-member council is scheduled to vote on the measure next week.

Rep Power: 16 | Re: Howard County in Maryland moves to ban under 18 tanning Many owners attended the public hearings for Balto. and Ho. County. 2 Balto. Co. owners spoke at the Balto. Co. meeting. The same two owners plus myself spoke at the Ho. Co. meeting. Each salon was asked to contribute monetarily for the lobbyist, to get signatures for a petition, write letters, and attend the meetings. We definitely had good turn outs to the meetings. It's very unfortunate that things turned out the way they did for Ho. Co. Here are the complete regulations that were passed: http://www.co.ho.md.us/health/docs/tanning.pdf |

Rep Power: 26 | Re: Howard County in Maryland moves to ban under 18 tanning The Global War On Tanning started in 2003 when we were attacked by the United Nations Dermaterrorists: http://www.who.int/uv/publications/en/sunbeds.pdf I fought anti-tanning regulations in Maryland, year after year, every year, the entire time I owned a tanning salon. Maryland is an anti-business state overwhelmingly controlled by Democrats. We are geographically very close to the national anti-tanning lobbying groups in DC that live and breathe only to kill the indoor tanning business in this country. The anti-tanning forces are better financed and better organized that the tanning industry and they have the ear of the Obama administration. If (or when) Obamacare becomes law, anti-tanning public policy, like the Howard County regulations, will become the law of the land. Every tanning salon owner who voted for Obama acted to destroy his own business. Last edited by Ezliving_Jim; 11-11-2009 at 06:19 PM. |
