Some Springfield tanning parlors may find some of their best clients off limits soon… if Alderman Sam Cahnman’s predictions are correct. Cahnman says he now has the votes to pass an ordinance that will prohibit anyone under the age of 18 from using a tanning salon, regardless of whether they have a parent’s permission.
The ordinance has been stalled in committee for weeks, but has gotten a boost recently from an endorsement by the Sangamon County Medical Society and a move by FitClub to voluntarily implement the restriction at its three locations. Cahnman plans to bring the ordinance back up for a vote at tonight’s City Council meeting.
