HR 7303 United States House · 118th Congress

Preserve Geographic Names Act

HR 7303, the Preserve Geographic Names Act, abolishes the Board on Geographic Names established in 1947 and terminates all its functions. The bill updates the 1947 law by removing all references to the Board, including its name, duties, and authority, and revises related sections to reflect its elimination. This is a procedural change that affects no specific geographic names or people, as it only eliminates the federal board responsible for coordinating geographic naming. The bill does not alter how geographic names are approved or managed by federal agencies.
