West Virginia Anti-Federal Commandeering Act prevents state law enforcement from enforcing federal laws that violate constitutional rights.

The West Virginia Anti-Federal Commandeering Act prohibits state and local law enforcement from enforcing federal statutes, executive orders, or regulations that infringe on constitutional rights. It allows the Attorney General to challenge unconstitutional federal actions in court and publish model policies for law enforcement agencies. The act also provides immunity for law enforcement officers who refuse to enforce such federal mandates. It aims to protect state sovereignty and citizens' constitutional rights from federal overreach.
