Kids Would Need Parental Consent Before Tanning

ANNAPOLIS, Md. (AP) ―

Children wouldn't be allowed to use tanning beds without parental consent under a bill Maryland lawmakers are considering.

The bill originally called for what would have been the nation's toughest ban on kids and tanning beds, with no one under 18 allowed.

But the House of Delegates agreed Tuesday to an amendment allowing children to use tanning beds if their parents or guardians give consent.

House members called the amendment a compromise, with final approval expected in the coming days.
