Blocks federal officials from renaming the Great Lakes, including reversing the change to Lake Ontario.
This bill would stop federal officials from changing the names of the Great Lakes. It would specifically reverse an Executive Order that renamed Lake Ontario to "Lake America." This means the five Great Lakes would keep their traditional names, protecting them from future renaming efforts by the federal government.
Currently, an Executive Order has renamed Lake Ontario to 'Lake America,' and federal officials can legally change the names of the Great Lakes. If this bill passes, Lake Ontario would immediately revert to its original name, and federal officials would be permanently blocked from renaming any of the five Great Lakes.
