House Bill No. introduced by L. Schubert and others aims to prohibit the enforcement of certain federal firearms laws in Montana. Specifically, it states that any federal law, rule, executive order, or regulation related to firearms that is enacted after November 9, 1889, and is more restrictive than existing Montana laws cannot be enforced by peace officers, state employees, or employees of political subdivisions. The bill includes provisions for codification, severability, and establishes an immediate effective date along with retroactive applicability to federal laws enacted after November 8, 1889.

The bill introduces several new sections to clarify its intent and application. Section 1 outlines the prohibition on enforcing more restrictive federal firearms laws, while Section 2 provides for the codification of this prohibition within Title 45, chapter 8, part 3. Section 3 ensures that if any part of the act is deemed invalid, the remaining valid parts will still be in effect. Additionally, Section 4 states that the act will take effect upon passage and approval, and Section 5 confirms that it applies retroactively to relevant federal laws or interpretations enacted after the specified date.
