A top lawmaker has signed on to the effort to ban indoor tanning by anyone under the age of 18 in Illinois.
Senate Republican leader Christine Radogno is the sponsor of a Senate bill that would prohibit indoor tanning by minors, even those who have parental permission. The legislation is similar to a House bill co-sponsored by local Republican Raymond Poe.
Springfield is already under a tanning ban after the City Council approved Alderman Sam Cahnman’s ordinance last year.
