A bill for an act creating the second amendment preservation Act, and providing penalties.

HF 428, the "Second Amendment Preservation Act," prohibits Iowa state and local governments from enforcing federal gun laws or providing resources to support such enforcement. It defines a "law-abiding citizen" as someone legally allowed to possess a firearm and bans public officials from participating in federal firearm regulation efforts. The law directly affects Iowa's government agencies and local officials, requiring them to cease cooperation with federal gun laws within the state. The bill is based on Iowa's position that state law supersedes federal gun regulations, citing the Tenth Amendment and state authority over firearm regulation.
