HB
746 by Rep. Helena
Moreno would prohibit minors from using tanning beds commercially. She told
the House Health and
Welfare Committee it was a cancer prevention measure and other states have
done it, and in some countries it was banned for anybody. Supporters talked
about their unfortunate experiences with cancer they said could have come from
tanning bed use, and a salon owner said the bill would align with industry
practices discouraging minor use and alternative methods.
A technical amendment to clarify
anybody younger than 18 would be banned was passed. After, Rep. Ricky Burford
said he would vote against it, obviously not because these could cause cancer, but
that this involved too much government involvement.
However, he was the only member
present to vote against it when the vote was called.

HB
185 by Rep. Kenny
Havard would reduce regulatory burdens by persons who employ direct service
workers to perform state-paid services. Mainly it would allow for non-complex
administration of medicine. Without this, this discourages self-direction,
which in a conducive environment can provide for better care of clients as well
as increase the skills and opportunities for the DSW.
The bill passed without
objection.
QUOTE OF THE DAY: “That was a
public service announcement by Rep. Frank Hoffman”
Committee Chairman Scott Simon,
when on debate about a bill dealing with pharmacies, commended a pharmacy
representative for not selling cigarettes in their stores; committee member Hoffman
has offered several bills in his career to limit smoking.
