Introduced
Summary
Seek a binding peace agreement to formally end the Korean War while rethinking U.S. travel rules for North Korea and exploring liaison offices to support diplomacy. It would require the State Department to review travel restrictions, clarify which humanitarian trips qualify for Special Validation Passports, and plan steps toward a formal, negotiated peace.

- Travelers: Requires a comprehensive review of existing travel restrictions and the guidance on when travel is "in the national interest," plus a report to Congress within 180 days.
- Diplomacy and officials: Orders urgent diplomatic planning with North and South Korea to produce a roadmap and negotiate a binding peace agreement and seeks negotiations to establish bilateral liaison offices based on the 2018 Singapore statement.
