The bill amends the West Virginia Second Amendment Preservation and Anti-Federal Commandeering Act by introducing new provisions that prohibit federal officials from enforcing certain decrees or writs within the state. Specifically, it states that no state agency or employee may be commandeered by the federal government for the enforcement of federal firearms laws. This aims to protect state law enforcement from federal overreach.

Additionally, the bill establishes a misdemeanor offense for federal officials, agents, or employees who attempt to enforce any decree or writ that has not been specifically passed by Congress or issued through due process. Upon conviction, these individuals could face a fine of up to $500, imprisonment for up to one year and a day, or both. The enforcement of this provision is designated to the Attorney General of West Virginia.
