North Dakota

SUNucate

Current Status: Not Enacted

Current Law

No SUNucate legislation has been enacted.

Comparison to the SUNucate Model Bill

North Dakota has not adopted the major components of the SUNucate model legislation. The state remains an opportunity state for comprehensive school and youth camp sunscreen access protections.

Opportunities for Improvement

Adopt the full SUNucate model, including student possession and self-application of sunscreen; staff assistance with parental permission; youth camp protections; sun-protective clothing; hats and sunglasses; sun-safe education; and a sunscreen sales-tax exemption.

Medical Spa Safety Act

Current Law

North Dakota does not have any state laws regulating medical spas. The Board of Nursing has stated that a physician, APRN, or physician assistant must first examine the patient before an RN may be delegated any procedures. The level of supervision depends on the RNs skill and license, but a physician, APRN, or PA must always be readily available.

Opportunities for Improvement

Since there are no laws in place, North Dakota would benefit from enacting the Medical Spa Safety Act, which would explicitly regulate medical spas, prevent conflicting Board opinions, and reduce confusion for patients and practitioners.
