Bill Summary

A bill to prohibit the enforcement of certain federal laws in this state; and to provide for damages and remedies.

AI Summary

This bill proposes to prohibit the enforcement of certain federal firearms-related laws within Michigan by establishing that any federal law, rule, regulation, executive order, or administrative order is unenforceable in the state if it: imposes specific taxes or fees on firearms that might discourage ownership, requires registration or tracking of firearms or firearm owners, prohibits possession or transfer of firearms, or orders firearm confiscation. The bill mandates that state and local government employees cannot enforce such federal regulations, with significant penalties for violations, including a $10,000 fine for each instance of attempted enforcement. Additionally, political subdivisions are prohibited from employing individuals who have previously attempted to enforce these types of federal firearms regulations. The bill also provides a legal mechanism for individuals who believe they have been injured by such enforcement to seek injunctive relief in circuit court, with the potential to recover attorney fees and court costs. By defining "person" broadly to include individuals, corporations, associations, and governmental entities, the bill creates a comprehensive framework for resisting what it considers to be overly restrictive federal firearms regulations.
