The bill amends the West Virginia Second Amendment Preservation and Anti-Federal Commandeering Act by explicitly prohibiting federal agents or employees from enforcing certain federal decrees or writs within the state. It establishes 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 sovereignty and ensure that local law enforcement is not compelled to act against state laws.

Additionally, the bill introduces a misdemeanor penalty for federal officials who attempt to enforce decrees or writs that have not been specifically passed by Congress or issued through due process. Upon conviction, these officials could face fines of up to $500 or 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, thereby empowering state authorities to uphold this law against unauthorized federal actions.
