Gulf of America Act

Sponsored By: Representative Greene, Marjorie Taylor [R-GA-14]

Passed House

Summary

This bill would rename the Gulf of Mexico as the Gulf of America in all federal laws, maps, and documents. It directs the Secretary of the Interior, acting through the Board on Geographic Names, to oversee the change. Heads of each federal agency would have 180 days to update agency documents and maps to reflect the new name. The renaming covers references in federal statutes, regulations, records, papers, and maps and is implemented through the Department of the Interior’s geographic-names process.
