House Bill 1390 advanced from the City, County & Local Affairs Committee after sponsor Representative (speaker) framed it as part of a package of Second Amendment measures. The presenter said the bill would make certain federal directives "of no avail" in Arkansas unless the General Assembly ratified them and noted the bill even names the president as a potential source of directives.
Committee members asked how the Real ID Act or federal directives might interact with the bill; the sponsor said he did not know and would look into the specifics. A member expressed skepticism about enforcement and practical differences but said he would still vote for the bill.
Senator Johnson moved the measure and Senator Flippo seconded; the committee approved HB 1390 by voice vote.
