The bill discussed aims to regulate the use of American Indian mascots by public schools in Minnesota. Essentially, a public school must request permission in writing from all 11 federally recognized Tribal Nations in Minnesota and the Tribal Nations Education Committee if they wish to use an American Indian mascot. If any of these entities object by a certain deadline, the school's request will be denied. If no American Indian Tribe is located in the same county as the school, the school then automatically gets an exemption from the restriction against using such mascots. Public schools denied an exemption have until September 1, 2026, to comply with the rules.
