The Anti-ATF Commandeering Act aims to prohibit the State of Arkansas and its political subdivisions from providing any material aid or support for the enforcement of federal firearms laws, regulations, executive orders, or treaties. The bill establishes that elected officials and public employees are not allowed to assist in the enforcement of these federal laws or refer violations to the federal government. Violations of this provision are classified as a Class A misdemeanor, and public employees found in violation will face termination and potential revocation of their law enforcement certification.

Additionally, the bill outlines civil remedies for individuals subjected to violations of the Act, allowing them to file claims with the Arkansas State Claims Commission for damages of $50,000 per violation. It also permits individuals to bring actions for equitable and monetary relief in circuit courts, with the provision that sovereign immunity cannot be used as a defense in these cases. The Act emphasizes the state's intent to refrain from involvement in federal firearms law enforcement while ensuring that state laws remain enforceable.
