Utah teenagers are just one signature away from needing their parents' permission to go to the tanning salon.

The House on Wednesday passed SB52, sponsored by Sen. Pat Jones, D-Holladay, with a 41-23 vote. The bill now goes to Gov. Jon Huntsman Jr. for his signature.

SB52 requires parents to personally visit tanning salons every 12 months and sign a consent form for their children. It also allows parents to specify the number of tanning sessions allowed in each year-long period.

The measure implements statewide requirements on teen tanning. Davis County already requires parental consent, but health officials say teens often skirt the regulation by crossing county lines.
