The proposed legislation, titled the "Anti-ATF Commandeering Act," aims to prohibit the provision of material aid and support for the enforcement of federal firearms laws by the state of Arkansas and its political subdivisions. It establishes that neither elected officials nor public employees may assist in enforcing federal firearms regulations, with specific definitions provided for "material aid and support." The act emphasizes that the state is not required to participate in the enforcement of federal laws, citing various Supreme Court rulings that support this stance.

Additionally, the bill outlines civil remedies for individuals who believe their rights have been violated under this act, allowing them to file claims with the Arkansas State Claims Commission or pursue legal action in circuit court. Violations by public employees could lead to termination, and the act specifies that sovereign immunity cannot be used as a defense in these cases. The legislation also clarifies that state law enforcement may still use information from federal agencies to enforce state laws, ensuring that state firearms laws remain enforceable as long as they comply with the Arkansas Constitution.
