Plain-language change summary

The updated version of Bill HB 1237 clarifies the definition of a "native name, logo, or mascot" to include specific terms and images connected to Native Americans. It now prohibits schools from using these names and logos, with an exception that allows them to continue using older uniforms and materials until September 1, 2030, provided they plan for a replacement. This change aims to reduce culturally insensitive representations in schools, fostering a more respectful environment for Native American communities.
