What this bill would do

This bill is known as the ``Persian Gulf Act''. It aims to prohibit the use of Federal funds to rename the Persian Gulf. Under this act, no Federal funds are authorized to be appropriated or made available for the purpose of renaming the body of water. Additionally, the bill dictates that no United States law, map, regulation, document, paper, or other record may refer to the Persian Gulf by a different name. Any such change would require express authorization from Congress.
