Relating to: pupils wearing traditional tribal regalia at a graduation ceremony or school-sponsored event.

Senate Bill 85 creates a new statute to prevent school boards and charter schools from prohibiting students from wearing traditional tribal regalia at graduation ceremonies or school-sponsored events. This protection applies to pupils who are members of, descendants of, or eligible to be enrolled in a federally recognized American Indian tribe or band. The bill defines "traditional tribal regalia" to include a tribe's traditional dress or objects of religious or cultural significance, such as symbols, beads, and feathers. This ensures specific students can wear these items at designated school events.
