          STAFF COMMENTS: This bill meets the criteria for referral to the 
          Suspense File. 

          Age restrictions on the use of ultraviolet tanning devices will 
          reduce usage.  A reduction in usage, estimated up to ten 
          percent, will result in decreased sale tax and business and 
          corporate tax revenues initially.  Reductions in tanning device 
          usage may be partially offset by the sale of other products to 
          persons affected by the age restrictions.  

          Age restrictions will likely reduce the incidence of skin cancer 
          which would reduce health care related costs in future years.
