Earlier today, The Oregon state Senate repassed House Bill 2896, which prohibits teenagers under the age of eighteen from using tanning bed facilities without a note from a physician.
The bill was sponsored by senator Elizabeth Steiner Hayward.
In Early March, the Oregon House passed the bill.
But later the Senate decided to allow seveteen-year-olds to use commercial tanning beds with parental consent.
The House did not concur with this amendment, and brought the bill back in its original form to the senate this morning, where it passed.
KBOO’s Audrey Davis has more:

Denise Morris talks with Yasmin Nair about NBA player Jason Collins coming out. They use the situation as an opportunity to relfect on what it means to come out and the particular expectations built into this process, about who can come out about what.   

This is a recording of the meeting from the point when members moved outside to its conclusion.  Wind noise and distance of some speakers from recorder affect quality.  The written transcript, along with Board comments will be posted by KBOO.  The written transcript has six time cues.  Both the audio file and the written transcript begin at time zero for easy cross referencing.
