MA S312

Prohibits Massachusetts public schools from adopting new athletic team names, logos, or mascots associated with Native Americans, effective immediately upon passage

Requires the Department of Elementary and Secondary Education to compile a list of all school mascots within 3 months, which the Commission on Indian Affairs will review to identify Native American-related names, logos, and mascots

Schools on the identified list are barred from purchasing or refurbishing uniforms, banners, scoreboards, or other materials bearing the Native American mascot until reaching an agreement with the department

Identified schools must enter into a memorandum of understanding within 6 months of negotiations, with implementation timelines not exceeding 3 years to phase out the mascots

Schools that fail to enter agreements or comply with memoranda lose eligibility for discretionary state education grants
