Whereas increasing intermittent sun exposure in childhood 
and during one’s lifetime is associated with an increased 
risk of squamous cell carcinoma, basal cell carcinoma, 
and melanoma; 
Whereas even one blistering sunburn during childhood or 
adolescence can nearly double a person’s chance of devel-
oping melanoma later in life, while five or more blistering 
sunburns in late adolescence increases one’s melanoma 
risk by 80 percent and nonmelanoma risk by 68 percent; 
Whereas despite an excellent safety profile, sunscreen is not 
allowed in many schools without physician authorization; 
Whereas in these cases, sunscreen is usually required to be 
stored in a locked cabinet in the nurse’s office; 
Whereas no published studies show that sunscreens that meet 
FDA standards are toxic to humans or hazardous to 
human health; and 
Whereas research shows that wearing sunscreen can prevent 
sunburn and reduce the risk of skin cancer and pre-
mature aging: Now, therefore, be it 
Resolved, That the House of Representatives— 
(1) supports Federal, State, and local efforts to 
exempt sunscreen from over-the-counter medication 
bans in schools and encourages all schools to allow 
students to possess sunscreen at school without re-
striction and without requiring physician authoriza-
