Bill > HR276

This bill proposes to rename the Gulf of Mexico to the "Gulf of America" through a straightforward legislative process. Specifically, the bill mandates that all references to the Gulf of Mexico in federal laws, regulations, maps, documents, and other official records will automatically be interpreted as references to the "Gulf of America". The Secretary of the Interior, working through the Chairman of the Board on Geographic Names, will be responsible for overseeing the implementation of this name change across federal agencies. Each federal agency will be required to update its documents and maps within 180 days of the bill's enactment to reflect the new name. The bill is relatively simple in its scope, focusing solely on changing the geographical name without altering any other legal or administrative provisions related to the body of water.
