Are you looking to open an ultraviolet light tanning facility?

The purpose of the Indoor Tanning program is to license (permit) and inspect commercial tanning facilities, as well as increase the public's knowledge of the hazards of indoor tanning, minimize user injuries and prevent tanning access by minors. If you wish to open a tanning facility or add tanning devices to your current business, you must obtain an operating license. The Maine CDC must inspect and approve facilities as a prerequisite to issuing an operating license.
