What was being voted on

119-HR-276 — Gulf of America Act

This bill aims to change the name of the Gulf of Mexico. Under this act, the body of water will be officially known as the "Gulf of America." The change applies to any United States law, map, regulation, or official record. The Secretary of the Interior will oversee this process through the Chairman of the Board on Geographic Names. Additionally, all Federal agencies must update their documents and maps within 180 days of the act's enactment.
