Under HB247, all state and local entities are required to recognize the name change by July 1.
Alabama State Rep. David Standridge, R-Hayden, on the floor of the Alabama House of Representatives on Tuesday, April 18, 2023, at the State House in Montgomery, Ala. .President Donald Trump’s executive order renaming the Gulf of Mexico to the Gulf of America has been met with mixed reactions - from eye rolls to calls of patriotism - and has inspired new T-shirts and koozies sold at the Flora-Bama while being ridiculed on late night shows.
The bill also requires local and state entities to “make reasonable efforts” to update pre-existing resources owned by state and local entities to reflect the name change “where practicable.” The museum completed last year a rebranding to remove the name “GulfQuest” from the museum’s title. The current name is the museum’s original authorized through a congressional designation about 15 years ago.
An unexpected expense could also affect fundraising for two future exhibits – a Mobile-Tensaw Delta exhibit, which will encompass an entire floor of the museum and is set to open in 2027; and an feature dedicated to the late musician Jimmy Buffett, a Mobile native. The Gulf of Mexico appears as the "Gulf of America" on Tuesday after Google changed the name on Maps.
