Persian Gulf Act

This bill would stop the federal government from spending any money to change the name “Persian Gulf.” It also says U.S. laws, maps, regulations, and other official records cannot use a different name for that body of water unless Congress clearly approves it first.

Key points

• Who is affected: Federal agencies and any official U.S. documents and maps.
• What changes: No federal funds may be used to rename the Persian Gulf, and no official U.S. record may call it something else without express approval from Congress.
• When: This would take effect upon enactment, guiding future federal spending and references.
