Legislature tries to draw tan line for teenagers: "State Rep. Burt Solomons, R-Carrollton, wants to put new limits on teenagers using tanning salons, and he's right to do so. There's no medical need for teens under 18 to tan, and the potential for long-range health problems is real.
Solomons' House Bill 1310 would bar anyone under the age of 18 from using a tanning bed without a doctor's note and a parent present. That would both broaden and simplify current law, which requires anyone under 16 to have a parent at the salon while they are tanning, and anyone under 13 to get a doctor's note."

Oh, let 'em fry.
Anyone who has seen a working middleaged cowboy's complexion – as most Texas kids certainly have! – and who still wants to pay for a tan is a Darwin Award candidate. The intelligent teens should be encouraged to pride themselves on their vampiric pallor, as they will once they all hit 40 and their dumber friends look 50.
