A bill for an act relating to Native American mascots in schools.

SF 420 prohibits Iowa public and nonpublic schools from using names, symbols, or images depicting Native American tribes, individuals, customs, or traditions as mascots, nicknames, logos, or team names after January 1, 2027. The law directly affects all Iowa schools except those controlled by Native American tribes and overseen by the Bureau of Indian Education. It requires schools to change existing branding that falls under these prohibited categories by the 2027 deadline.
