Gulf of Mexico, renamed, observation and implementation by state and local entities and state and local employees required where practicable
Became law
This already passed. Here's what you can still do.
1. Push for repeal or amendment
Legislative staff still count constituent contacts on enacted laws. A steady mail stream is what gets a bill onto the next session's repeal docket. Pick “Oppose” below and the message will frame the ask around repeal, amendment, or enforcement relief.
→ Write to your rep3. Tell people the bill affects
Most people don't hear about a state-level bill until enforcement starts. A short note now (not a thread, just a link) gives the people most affected time to plan.
This bill renames the Gulf of Mexico as the "Gulf of America" within the state of Alabama. Starting October 1, 2026, all state and local government entities and their employees must use the new name in official communications and materials, and update existing resources where practical. Public schools and universities may still use "Gulf of Mexico" for historical academic purposes.
