About this vote

The bill renames the Gulf of Mexico as the Gulf of America and directs federal agencies to update their documents and maps with the new name. A motion to recommit sends a bill back to committee and is usually the minority's last chance to change it; it failed, so the House moved to a final vote on the bill.
