The Hands Off Our Great Lakes Act would prohibit the President and federal officials from renaming any of the five Great Lakes: Superior, Michigan, Huron, Erie, and Ontario. The bill specifically nullifies Executive Order 14422, which was issued on August 27, 2026, and attempted to rename Lake Ontario as "Lake America." The legislation prevents the federal government from implementing, administering, or enforcing this executive order or any substantially similar action. Additionally, the bill bars the use of any federal funds to carry out the renaming effort. The bill affects the executive branch's authority over geographic naming of these major freshwater lakes, which are shared by the United States and Canada and are vital to the region's economy and ecosystem.
