H.R.8360 Sponsored

Her official House legislation page lists H.R. 8360 as sponsored and updated on 04/16/26, confirming the bill introduction. I did not find a later official House action in the lookback window showing the commission was created or the bill advanced.

Assessments

never unknown A for effort

Official evidence shows Bonnie Watson Coleman reintroduced and sponsored H.R. 8360 on April 16, 2026 to create an interagency commission on restorative justice in K-12 education. That is a serious, concrete legislative effort directly tied to the promise. But the record provided does not show enactment, creation of the commission, or meaningful legislative advancement beyond introduction as of June 12, 2026. Under the rubric, a serious attempt that did not deliver the promised outcome scores as never, with effort_badge true.
