Minors in the state of California will no longer be allowed to use tanning beds after Governor Jerry Brown signed a bill on Sunday prohibiting anyone under the age of 18 from using ultraviolet tanning devices.

California is the first state in the nation to ban minors from using tanning beds, legislators said.

Previously, California had banned minors under the age of 14 from using tanning beds, but allowed those between 14 and 18 years of age to use tanning beds with parental consent.

In California, minors can get an abortion with parental consent (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Minors_and_abortion#United_States), but can no longer get a tan, even with parental consent.

Cali legislators get paid 6 figures a year to pass BS laws like this. Why can’t they pass a budget? Why aren’t they being turned out? Even libs have to be getting sick of these ridiculous laws.
