This bill mandates that state agencies in Florida update their geographic materials to reflect the new federal designation of the "Gulf of Mexico" as the "Gulf of America." Additionally, it requires that instructional materials and library media center collections adopted or acquired by district school boards or charter school governing boards on or after July 1, 2025, also reflect this new designation.

The bill aims to ensure consistency in the naming of the Gulf across various state resources and educational materials, thereby promoting awareness and adherence to the updated federal terminology. The effective date for these changes is set for July 1, 2025.
