Lake America Act

This bill would rename Lake Ontario as "Lake America" for purposes of the United States government. Any mention of Lake Ontario in a federal law, map, regulation, document, or other federal record would be treated as a reference to Lake America. The Secretary of the Interior, through the Chairman of the Board on Geographic Names, would oversee the name change on federal documents and maps. Each federal agency would have to update its documents and maps within 180 days after the bill becomes law.
