SHANGHAI (Reuters) - Chinese office manager Ye Lu likes working up a sweat -- not in the gym, but in a tanning salon.

Miami, FL -- (SBWIRE) -- 08/25/2006 -- Tanning Salons have historically been a seasonal business. Many salons are packed in the winter months and virtually empty in the summer.

On March 21 Assembly Bill 2936 was introduced in the New Jersey Legislature to institute statewide tanning salon restrictions. An identical bill, SB 1225, was introduced Jan. 30. Passage of the bills would prohibit minors under the age of 14 from using tanning facilities and would prohibit minors between ages 14 and 18 from using tanning facilities without written authorization of a parent or legal guardian. The prohibition would not apply to emancipated minors.

Although some teens may consider a glowing tan as essential as the need to buy a new dress before prom, health concerns have led Davis County to limit teenage tanning.
