Expressing support for the designation of February 9, 2025, as the first ever "Gulf of America Day" and celebrating the importance of changing the Gulf of Mexico to the Gulf of America.

This resolution supports recognizing February 9, 2025, as “Gulf of America Day” and promotes the idea of renaming the Gulf of Mexico to the Gulf of America . It is a statement of sentiment by the House, not a law, so it does not create programs or change policies. People living and working along the Gulf Coast are the most affected, mainly through the symbolic recognition of the region’s importance. Federal agencies and industries are not given new duties or rules under this resolution. There are no requirements for states, cities, or businesses to follow. The measure does not state any costs or funding. Its main purpose is to celebrate the Gulf’s role in American life and encourage the proposed name change.
