About This Bill
Committee
Latest Action · October 28, 2025
Read twice and referred to the Committee on Energy and Natural Resources.
S.J.Res. 93 is a resolution that would block a rule issued by the Bureau of Safety and Environmental Enforcement that would rename the Gulf of Mexico to the "Gulf of America." Under federal law, Congress can disapprove certain agency rules through this expedited process, and if this resolution passes both chambers, the renaming rule would be invalidated and have no legal effect. The resolution was introduced by Senator Whitehouse in October 2025 and referred to the Senate Committee on Energy and Natural Resources. No specific funding is required for this measure, as it simply overturns an existing agency action rather than establishing a new program. The timeline for congressional action would follow the standard legislative process, though disapproval resolutions have expedited procedures that limit debate time in both chambers.
