The bill mandates that all state agencies in Florida update their geographic materials to reflect the new federal designation of the Gulf of Mexico as the Gulf of America. This requirement extends to instructional materials and library media center collections adopted or acquired by district school boards and charter school governing boards on or after July 1, 2025, ensuring that these materials also reflect the updated designation.

The effective date for this legislation is set for July 1, 2025, allowing time for state agencies and educational institutions to comply with the new requirements.
