The resolution proposes to officially rename the Gulf of Mexico as the "Gulf of America" and mandates that all state agencies in Arkansas use this new terminology in their official communications, including maps, documents, and educational materials. The rationale behind this change is to emphasize the Gulf's significance to the United States, particularly in terms of economic, environmental, and cultural contributions, as well as its role in American energy production, trade, and tourism. The resolution highlights Arkansas's economic ties to the Gulf and aims to promote a sense of patriotism and recognition of the Gulf's importance to the nation's prosperity and security.

Additionally, the resolution encourages the United States government and other states to adopt the term "Gulf of America" to further acknowledge the Gulf's contributions to the country. It directs state agencies to update their materials accordingly and ensures that the resolution is communicated to relevant parties, including the Governor and the Department of Education, for prompt implementation.
