2015-S1982 - Sponsor Memo

                                BILL NUMBER:S1982

TITLE OF BILL:  An act to amend the general business law and the
public health law, in relation to requiring the department of health
to review the safety of ultraviolet nail dryers and authorizing the
department of health to promulgate any regulations deemed appropriate
for governing the use of such devices by any appearance enhancement
business

PURPOSE OR GENERAL IDEA OF BILL:

The purpose of this legislation is to increase consumer safety by
requiring the Department of Health to review the existing medical and
scientific literature, published reports, and articles regarding the
potential health hazards associated with the use of ultraviolet nail
drying devices, identify any health hazards, and promulgate any
necessary regulations based on such findings.

SUMMARY OF SPECIFIC PROVISIONS:

Section 1. The general business law is amended by adding a new section
404-c. sections 2 and 3. Section 2. The public health law is amended
by adding a new subdivision 3 to section 3550. Section 3 adds a new
section 3556.

JUSTIFICATION:

A recent Archives of Dermatology article implicated UV lamps as a
contributing factor in the cases of two women without family histories
of skin cancer who developed the disease on their hands, stemming from
steady use of the lamps at nail salons. According to a prominent Mayo
Clinic-trained dermatologist, "these lights are considered as
dangerous as tanning beds."

While tanning beds and tanning parlors have long carried warnings that
detail the increased risk of skin cancer and other conditions that
result from their use, UV lamps used in nail salons are not subject to
this requirement. These lights are increasingly being used by
consumers in conjunction with specialty gel nail polish, which is
applied like regular nail polish to fingernails (and toenails). While
online advertisements tout that these manicures last longer, many
users are unaware that exposure to UV light may increase their risk of
developing skin cancer.

PRIOR LEGISLATIVE HISTORY:

2013,2014: S.2043/A.734 Referred to Consumer Protection
2012: S.7578/A.1984-C   Referred to Consumer Protection

FISCAL IMPLICATIONS:

To be determined.

EFFECTIVE DATE:

This act shall take effect in 120 days.

  S 4. This act shall take effect on the one hundred twentieth day after
