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 upon passage and approval, as well as retroactive applicability to federal laws enacted after November 8, 1889.

The bill introduces several new sections, including a codification instruction that integrates the prohibition into Title 45, chapter 8, part 3 of Montana law, and a severability clause ensuring that if any part of the act is deemed invalid, the remaining valid parts will still be in effect. Additionally, the retroactive applicability clause allows the act to apply to more restrictive interpretations of existing laws that were in place as of November 8, 1889.
