H.R. 8750 would rename the United States Exclusive Economic Zone, which extends 200 nautical miles from the U.S. coast and was established in 1983, to the "Donald John Trump Exclusive Economic Zone of the United States." The bill would update all federal laws, maps, regulations, and official documents to reflect this new designation. The legislation does not create any new policies, allocate funding, or establish new timelines; it is purely a naming change. All Americans would be technically affected since the exclusive economic zone governs fishing rights, resource extraction, and maritime jurisdiction in waters off U.S. coasts. The bill was introduced in June 2024 and referred to the House Committee on Natural Resources.
