Ohio legislators want to tighten the restrictions on minors in tanning beds.

The proposed bill would require minors to have a doctor's note to go tanning.

According to the American Academy of Dermatology, nearly 70% of people going under the UV bulbs are women ages 16-29.

Under the current guidelines in Ohio, minors are required to have parental consent to use a tanning bed.

But lawmakers say for health reasons, they want to pass legislation requiring a doctor's note.

"There are certain medical conditions where the UV light is beneficial, for example psoriasis, having said that, I personally would not. I'd have them see a dermatologist because it needs to be a measured dose that can be controlled," said Richard Cain, M.D., Family Practice Doctor.

Dr. Cain says children are more susceptible to toxins than adults.

This is not the first time Ohio's legislature has tried to pass the bill.

Last year it failed as commerce committee legislation.

This time it is a health bill.

Ohio legislators hope to have it on the house floor in next couple of weeks.
