The bill mandates that all state agencies update their geographic materials to reflect the new federal designation of the "Gulf of Mexico" as the "Gulf of America." Additionally, it requires district school boards and charter school governing boards to adopt and acquire instructional materials and library media center collections that align with this new designation, starting on July 1, 2025.

The effective date for these changes is set for July 1, 2025, ensuring that both state agencies and educational institutions are in compliance with the updated terminology by this date.
