Section I-1301 - Purpose and Scope [formerly 49:8.0000]A. These regulations provide for the registration, certification and regulation of facilities and equipment which employ ultraviolet and other lamps for the purpose of tanning the skin of the living human body through the application of ultraviolet radiation.B. The current statutory provisions in R.S. 40:2701 through 2719, as enacted by Act No. 587 of 1990, indicates that the owner or proprietor of each tanning parlor facility must apply for a certificate of registration as well as a separate permit from the Department of Health and Hospitals. In order to implement Act No. 587 of 1990 efficiently, and to accomplish the desired regulatory results in the best interest of the public health, the department will require a single application to register and obtain a permit for each tanning parlor facility in the state. Upon completion of processing, which includes inspection of each such facility by a department employee, only a single certificate of registration and permit will be issued. The combined instrument will expire at midnight on the date specified on the face of the document, and it must be renewed annually, as further specified in these regulations. C. Nothing in these regulations shall be interpreted as limiting the intentional exposure of patients to ultraviolet radiation for the purpose of treatment or therapy other than skin tanning, provided such treatment or therapy is supervised by a licensed practitioner of the healing arts in the lawful practice of their profession, in accordance with the requirements of their professional licensing board to prescribe and supervise such treatment.La.
