Persian Gulf Act
HR 3326, the Persian Gulf Act, prohibits the use of federal funds to rename the Persian Gulf and requires Congress to explicitly authorize any change to the name in official U.S. documents. The bill directly affects federal agencies, maps, regulations, and government records that might otherwise refer to the body of water by a different name. It mandates that no federal law, document, or record can use an alternative name without specific congressional approval. This is a procedural bill focused solely on preserving the current name designation in official U.S. contexts.
