American Indian mascot requirement exemption amended.

HF 519 amends Minnesota law to simplify the exemption process for public schools that wish to retain American Indian mascots. It changes the requirement from seeking approval from all 11 federally recognized Minnesota tribes and the Tribal Nations Education Committee to instead requiring that no American Indian Tribe within the school's county objects to the mascot use. Schools are automatically exempt if a local tribe doesn't object, or if no tribe exists in the county. This directly affects Minnesota public schools using such mascots, altering how they obtain permission to continue the practice under state education rules.
