Existing law, the Radiation Control Law, requires the State Department of Public Health to regulate the use and control of radiologic materials. A violation of the Radiation Control Law, or a regulation adopted pursuant to that law, is a crime.
This bill would require the State Department of Public Health to license and regulate the owners of tanning facilities, as specified, and to administer the provisions that regulate tanning facilities. The bill would impose a licensure fee on the owners of tanning facilities, to be deposited into a newly created fund, subject to appropriation. The bill would require tanning device operators to receive training in the operation of tanning equipment, as specified, and would require the State Department of Public Health to adopt regulations to implement those training requirements. The bill would make changes to the Radiation Control Law to impose additional inspection requirements for nonionizing radiation devices, as defined. The bill would make conforming changes to related provisions.
By extending the application of a crime pursuant to the Filante Tanning Facility Act of 1988 and the Radiation Control Law, this bill would impose a state-mandated local program.
The California Constitution requires the state to reimburse local agencies and school districts for certain costs mandated by the state. Statutory provisions establish procedures for making that reimbursement.
This bill would provide that no reimbursement is required by this act for a specified reason.
