Some conservatives are angry at Senate Republican leader Christine Radogno for sponsoring a bill to impose a statewide ban on indoor tanning by anyone under the age of 18.
The bill is similar to the local teen tanning ban approved by Springfield aldermen last year.
Conservative activists say the bill puts a state mandate ahead of a parent’s right to make decisions for their own teens.
In addition to Radogno’s Senate bill, a tan ban is also the subject of a House bill co-sponsored by Springfield Republican Raymond Poe.
