Title

Firearms, Alabama Second Amendment Preservation Act, restrictions on enforcement of executive orders, provided

Summary

HB310 creates the Alabama Second Amendment Protection Act to block federal executive orders that restrict firearms rights and to stop state funding for enforcing them.

What This Bill Does

If a President issues an executive order that limits how Alabama residents may own or use firearms, the order would be deemed unenforceable by Alabama law enforcement. State and local money cannot be used to enforce such orders. The Attorney General can issue guidance to state and local officials to ensure consistent compliance with the act.

Who It Affects

• State and local law-enforcement officers and government officials in Alabama, who would be prohibited from enforcing or helping enforce any such executive order against firearms.
• Law-abiding residents of Alabama who own firearms, whose rights would be shielded from enforcement of federal orders deemed to curb those rights.

Key Provisions

• Prohibits enforcement or administration of any presidential executive order that limits ownership, use, or possession of firearms, ammunition, or firearm accessories by law-abiding Alabama residents.
• Prohibits the expenditure of state or local public funds for enforcing such executive orders.
• Authorizes the Attorney General to issue guidance to state and local officials to ensure uniform compliance with the act.
• Provides the act takes effect on the first day of the third month after the bill is passed and approved by the Governor.
