including melanoma, squamous cell carcinoma, and cancers of the
eye;
Whereas, The use of a tanning bed exposes users to both UVA and
UVB rays, which damage the skin and may lead to cancer; and

be taken in order to ensure that all people are protected from the
dangers presented by the use of tanning beds: Therefore,
SECTION 1. That the Legislative Council is urged to assign to the
Health Finance Commission the topic of tanning beds and their
relationship to cancer.
