Hands Off Our Great Lakes Act

This bill would bar the President, the Secretary of the Interior, and other federal officials acting under the President's authority from changing the official names of the five Great Lakes: Superior, Michigan, Huron, Erie, and Ontario. It would cancel Executive Order 14422, issued on August 27, 2026, which renamed Lake Ontario as Lake America. It would also bar federal officials from carrying out that order or any similar order, and would bar the use of federal funds to implement it.
