SECTION 1.  Subsection (f), Section 145.008, Health and Safety Code, is amended to read as follows:
(f)  To ensure the proper operation of the tanning equipment, a tanning facility may not allow:
(1)  a person younger than 16.5 years of age to use a tanning device; and
(2)  a person younger than 18 years of age to use a tanning device unless the person's parent or legal guardian, in person at the facility together with the person younger than 18 years of age and after confirming that they and the person have read and understood the advisory statement described in subsection (g) of this Section, consents in writing for the person to use the device, which may be revoked at any time.
SECTION 2.  The change in law made by this Act applies only to an offense committed on or after the effective date of this Act. An offense committed before the effective date of this Act is governed by the law in effect when the offense was committed, and the former law is continued in effect for that purpose. For purposes of this section, an offense was committed before the effective date of this Act if any element of the offense occurred before that date.
SECTION 3.  This Act takes effect September 1, 2013.
