The proposed legislation, known as 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, or executive orders. The bill establishes that elected officials and public employees are not allowed to assist in the enforcement of these federal laws, with specific provisions stating that violations could lead to termination of employment for public employees. The act also clarifies that while state laws regarding firearms can still be enforced, no assistance can be given to federal authorities in this context.

Additionally, the bill outlines civil remedies for individuals who believe they have been subjected to violations of this act. It allows for claims to be filed with the Arkansas State Claims Commission, with potential awards of $50,000 per violation. Furthermore, individuals can 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 legislation emphasizes the intent to uphold the rights of the state against federal overreach in firearms regulation.
