17
or legal guardian must sign the consent form in the presence of 
18
a tanning facility operator who is not a minor, indicating that 
19
the parent or guardian has read and understood the warnings 
20
required under subsection (h) of Section 20 or in rules adopted 
21
by the Department.  The parent or guardian shall not be required 
22
to be in the tanning room or booth with the minor.
