“I am very happy the governor signed it since skin cancer is the No. 1 cancer in America,” Yen said. “People who tan regularly before the age of 35 increase their risk of malignant melanoma by 59 percent.”

The measure does not prohibit minors from spray tanning, Yen said.

Fallin also signed House Bill 1005 making rape by instrumentation a first-degree crime. Existing law listed it as a second-degree crime.

The measure, by Rep. Scott Biggs, R-Chickasha, and Sen. AJ Griffin, R-Guthrie, deletes a requirement that it result in bodily injury.

The governor also signed another measure authored by Biggs, HB 1127, which requires that a court must instruct the jury on the definition of “consent” in any criminal jury trial that involves “sexual assault.”

Biggs said in a statement that although juries currently are required to follow the legal definition of “consent,” the understanding of the definition can change from jury member to jury member.
