Congress.gov summarizes H.R.715 as establishing new background check requirements for firearm transfers between private parties and says its latest action was referral to House Judiciary, with status Introduced.

Assessments

partial same_term A for effort

Scholten took official same-term action consistent with the promise by cosponsoring federal universal/private-party background check legislation (H.R.715) and federal red flag legislation (H.R.3018). Those bills did not become law in the 118th Congress, and the evidence does not show enacted federal reforms or a safe-storage bill/action attributable to her. Because she materially supported major parts of the promised reform package but did not deliver the full policy outcome, this is partial with an effort badge.
