I posted about this at Diva's the other day, but I found out just a few minutes ago there is a hearing today with tanning on the list. Had this date been on the original artical I found, I would have passed this around sooner...

It looks like this hasn't hit the radar screen at the ITA.

Dan Humiston replied to a private email I sent him about this.

In part, Dan advised me that John Overstreet arrived yesterday in CT to prepare for the hearing.

This morning a group of industry leaders including Joe Levy, Karen Mead, Christian Sauska, John Andros and others met with ITA advisors for a premeeting planning session.

Since this Bill came out of committee, there was very little time to prepare for it.

Dan said, "This is a very scary proposal.... Keep your fingers crossed."

I expect there will eventually be news posted on the ITA website.
