Bill Summary

A BILL To prohibit the use of Federal funds to rename the Persian Gulf, and for other purposes.

AI Summary

This bill, known as the "Persian Gulf Act," aims to prevent any federal funds from being used to rename the Persian Gulf and prohibits any U.S. government entities from referring to the body of water by any name other than "Persian Gulf" without explicit congressional approval. Specifically, the bill states that no federal funds can be appropriated or used for renaming the Persian Gulf, and it mandates that no U.S. law, map, regulation, document, paper, or official record may use an alternative name for this geographical region without first receiving express authorization from Congress. The legislation appears to be a preemptive measure to protect the traditional naming of this strategic waterway, which is located between Iran and the Arabian Peninsula and has been historically referred to as the Persian Gulf.
