(CNN) -- California Gov. Jerry Brown signed into law Sunday a bill that prohibits most teenagers from getting bronzed in tanning beds, making the Golden Voice the first to do so.
State Sen. Ted Lieu said he first tried, and failed, in 2007 to set up it illegal for people between the ages of 14 and 18 to walk into a swiftness and use ultraviolet beds to tan. Four years later, his effort once paid off.
"I feel great," Lieu told CNN of the bill's way. "I believe it will help save lives and obstruct unnecessary suffering."
Previously, those between 14 and 18 could use tanning beds if they had a materfamilias or legal guardian's permission. That is no longer allowed, though the use of "a phototherapy slogan ... used by or under the direct supervision of a provisional physician or surgeon" and certain services offered at tanning facilities, like increasing tans, are still legal for young people.
While most states modulate how minors can use tanning facilities, California's recently enacted restrictions go further than any other specify, according to the National Conference of State Legislatures. Some counties also lecture the issue, with the same organization noting that Howard County, Maryland, was the first dominion to ban indoor tanning for all under age 18.
