Alabama lawmakers advance bill to rename Gulf of Mexico to Gulf of America, citing a Trump executive order and requiring state adoption by October.
The Alabama House of Representatives passed a bill to rename the Gulf of Mexico to the Gulf of America, requiring state and local entities to adopt the new name in official materials by October 1.
Sponsored by Rep. David Standridge, R-Hayden, the bill cites a 2025 executive order by President Trump and claims federal agencies and major mapping services already use the new name.
It mandates schools to stop teaching the old name, though academic use for historical context is permitted.
The bill passed 74-30 and now moves to the Senate, with critics questioning its necessity, permanence, and scope.
