The actions page shows two actions, both on 03/03/2023: introduced in House and referred to the House Committee on Foreign Affairs.

Official action history shows no passage, hearing, markup, floor vote, or enactment after referral, so the commitment remained only partially advanced as of the latest check.

Assessments

partial same_term A for effort

Sherman sponsored and introduced the Peace on the Korean Peninsula Act in the 118th Congress, and the bill text matched the promised diplomatic-engagement and peace-agreement goal. He also built substantial cosponsorship and had sponsored an earlier version, showing real legislative effort in federal office. However, the Act remained introduced and referred to committee, with no passage, enactment, or binding peace process delivered, so this is partial rather than full delivery.
