SF89

Senate File No. 89, introduced by Senators Westrom, Drazkowski, Rarick, Koran, and Eichorn, is a legislative bill from Minnesota aiming to repeal an existing law. Specifically, it seeks to remove the prohibition on using American Indian mascots in educational settings. Currently, according to the Minnesota Statutes 2024, Section 121A.041, such mascots are banned, but this bill proposes to eliminate that ban, allowing schools to use American Indian mascots if they choose to do so. This bill was read for the first time and referred to the Education Policy committee for further consideration.
