April 6, 2009: Legislative Report #47

The Nanny State

On Monday April 6, 2009, Joe Atkins, (DFL) District: 39B introduced bill #2296. The bill strips parent control of providing for their children under 16 related to tanning booth usage. The existing law, provided below, acknowledges constitutional parental rights. Joe Atkins intends to remove a parent’s right under our constitution to parent.  

Minnesota Statute 325H.08 CONSENT REQUIRED 

Before allowing the initial exposure at a tanning facility of a person under the age of 16, the owner or operator shall witness the person's, parent's, or legal guardian's signing and dating of the warning statement required under section 325H.06. History: 1993 c 316 s 8
