Bill > HB3070

This bill reestablishes the "Second Amendment Preservation Act" in Missouri, asserting that the state's General Assembly is committed to defending the U.S. Constitution and opposing any infringements on its principles, particularly concerning the right to bear arms. It declares that federal actions, such as taxes, registration, tracking, prohibitions, or confiscations related to firearms, firearm accessories, or ammunition, are void and unenforceable within Missouri if they exceed the federal government's constitutionally delegated powers or infringe upon the rights guaranteed by the Second Amendment of the U.S. Constitution and Article I, Section 23 of the Missouri Constitution. The bill prohibits any Missouri entity or person from enforcing such federal actions and holds political subdivisions and law enforcement agencies liable for $50,000 per occurrence if their officers knowingly violate these provisions or deprive citizens of their Second Amendment rights. Furthermore, it imposes a $50,000 civil penalty per employee on political subdivisions or law enforcement agencies that knowingly employ individuals who have enforced or aided in the enforcement of these prohibited federal actions. The bill defines "law-abiding citizen" and "material aid and support" in specific contexts and includes provisions for legal recourse, attorney fees, and the severability of its parts, with its provisions applying to offenses occurring on or after August 28, 2026.
