Sacramento, CA., (Indiana's NewsCenter)--- California is the first state to ban minors from using tanning beds with or without a parents content..

Governor Jerry Brown announced on Sunday that he had signed into law a bill that prevents children under 18 from using the popular tanning method.

The law takes effect on January 1.

Although Texas has banned the use of tanning beds for children under 16, the bill makes California the first state to set a higher age limit.

Thirty other states also have some age restrictions on the use of tanning beds.
