A coalition of groups is supporting proposed Missouri legislation to prohibit minors from using indoor tanning devices.
The “Missouri Youth Skin Cancer Prevention Coalition” has called a 9:30 press conference for Wednesday morning at the Statehouse in Jefferson City.
They’ll be joined by State Rep. Nick Schroer, R-O’Fallon, who’s sponsoring the bill.
The coalition says skin cancer is the most commonly diagnosed cancer in the United States, with rates rising for the past 30 years.
The coalition, which will include organizations, providers, cancer survivors and parents, will be unveiled at the press conference.
