Florida became the first state to enshrine the “Gulf of America” into law after President Donald Trump proclaimed the new name for the body of water via executive order in January. Trump changed the Gulf of Mexico to the Gulf of America shortly after taking office.

The Sunshine State is claiming dibs on being the first to officially recognize the Gulf of America as the body of water's new name.

One of the bills (HB 575) will change dozens of state laws to reflect the name change, while the other (HB 549) will require state agencies to update "geographic materials" to reflect the change.
