TO CREATE THE ANTI-ATF COMMANDEERING ACT; AND TO PROHIBIT THE PROVISION OF MATERIAL AID AND SUPPORT FOR ENFORCEMENT OF FEDERAL FIREARMS LAWS.

House Bill 1481, known as the Anti-ATF Commandeering Act, aims to restrict state and local public employees and elected officials in Arkansas. It prohibits them from providing material aid or support for enforcing federal firearms laws, including attempting to enforce such laws or referring federal firearms violations to the U.S. Government. Public employees found to have referred federal firearms violations would face termination of employment. The bill clarifies that it does not prevent the enforcement of state firearms laws or the use of federal information for enforcing state laws.
