The House this morning killed a bill that would have prohibited anyone younger than 18 from using a tanning bed unless they had permission from a parent or guardian.

The measure (Senate Bill 23) died on a 38-27 vote.

Supporters said children are being exposed to higher risk of cancer.

Doctors have said skin cancer rates are up 40 percent in Colorado and exposure from a tanning bed could last a lifetime.
