Persian Gulf Act

The proposed "Persian Gulf Act" aims to prevent any alteration of the Persian Gulf's name by the United States government. A core provision, Section 2(a), explicitly prohibits the use of Federal funds for the purpose of renaming this significant body of water. Additionally, Section 2(b) stipulates that no official United States record , including laws, maps, regulations, or other documents, may refer to the Persian Gulf by an alternative name. This prohibition stands unless express authorization is granted by Congress , thereby requiring a specific legislative act for any name change. The bill ensures the consistent and traditional naming of the Persian Gulf across all federal operations and documentation.
