A bill for an act relating to education, including by prohibiting the use of certain mascots to represent schools and institutions of higher education, establishing grant programs to assist schools and institutions of higher education in adopting alternative mascots, modifying provisions related to the Iowa tuition grants program, and making appropriations.

SF 382 prohibits Iowa public schools and colleges from using mascots, team names, or logos that reference disabilities (as defined by the Americans with Disabilities Act). It requires these institutions to adopt new, non-discriminatory representations by the bill's effective date, with a transition period allowing continued use of existing materials until September 1, 2027, under specific rules. The bill establishes two grant programs: one administered by the Department of Education to help K-12 schools and nonpublic institutions cover costs for changing mascots, and another by the State Board of Regents for public universities, both funded starting July 2025. These grants cover expenses like new signage, uniforms, and materials, with funding ending September 1, 2027.
