What it does
The Lake America Act would rename Lake Ontario as Lake America and require all federal references to the lake to be updated accordingly. The bill affects federal agencies, maps, documents, and regulations, mandating that the Secretary of the Interior oversee the renaming process and that each federal agency head update its materials within 180 days of enactment. This change would apply uniformly across all U.S. government records, ensuring consistency in the use of the new name.
