Bill Summary · SJRES 87

Overview: SJRES 87, A joint resolution providing for congressional disapproval under chapter 8 of title 5, United States Code, of the rule submitted by the Bureau of Ocean Energy Management relating to "Restoring Names That Honor American Greatness: Gulf of America", was introduced in the Senate.

Purpose and Intent: The resolution aims to disapprove and nullify a rule proposed by the Bureau of Ocean Energy Management (BOEM) that would rename the Gulf of Mexico to the "Gulf of America".

Key Provisions:
- Invokes the Congressional Review Act to disapprove and nullify the BOEM's proposed rule
- Prevents the BOEM from implementing the name change in the future without congressional approval

Affected Parties and Impacts: This resolution would impact the federal government's ability to unilaterally rename the Gulf of Mexico, as well as any stakeholders, such as coastal communities, businesses, and the general public, who may be affected by the proposed name change.

Procedural and Timeline Considerations: SJRES 87 has been introduced in the Senate and is currently undergoing the legislative process. If passed by both chambers of Congress, it would prevent the BOEM's proposed rule from taking effect.
