Prohibits discriminatory school or college mascots

HB 1518 prohibits public schools and public colleges from using mascots, logos, or names that mock or stereotype people with disabilities, as defined by the federal Americans with Disabilities Act. It requires schools to stop using such "discriminatory disability mascots" immediately, except for existing materials (like uniforms or yearbooks) purchased before the law's effective date, which can be used for up to three years if schools adopt new non-discriminatory names and stop selling or distributing materials displaying the old mascot. Schools must remove the mascot from facilities during normal maintenance or remodeling within that three-year window. The bill directly affects all public school districts and public institutions of higher education in the state.
