That would seem to be the next logical step considering this:

Children under 14 are banned from using tanning salons, unless they have a doctor's note, and those 14 to 18 need parental permission to receive a tan.

Going to a tanning salon, especially when young, may not be the best thing in the world for people's health... But come on. It's simulated sunlight--something which, in non-simulated form, can still be obtained for free the last time I checked. Heaven forbid things should get done more efficiently, pumping a little extra money into the economy in the process.

I mean, are California lawmakers actually making a deliberate effort to convince the world they're a pack of flaming morons? It's the only reasonable explanation I can think of.
