Florida House approves Gulf of America name change in state laws, educational materials

Erasing the Gulf of Mexico from state laws and educational materials won Florida House approval Thursday.

The Republican-controlled House passed two bills along party lines to carry out President Donald Trump's directive to rename the gulf as the Gulf of America.

Miami Republican Rep. Juan Carlos Porras, who sponsored a bill about updating school materials and state geographic materials to reflect the name change, said the proposal isn't rewriting history.

"The new designation is much more than a simple name change," Porras said. "It is a declaration that the United States is a global leader in the vanguard of democracy of the free world."
