H.R. 9779: Hands Off Our Boca Chica Beach Act of 2026
This bill would officially rename the stretch of beach in Cameron County, Texas, to “Boca Chica Beach.” It also says that any existing federal law, map, regulation, document, or other government record that refers to that location would be treated as referring to “Boca Chica Beach.”
In addition to the name change, the bill would require the Domestic Names Committee of the U.S. Board on Geographic Names to notify each member of Congress representing an affected area whenever the committee receives a geographic name proposal and asks for input under its normal procedures.
