"So, how does this law keep that from happening? And if it doesn’t, what good is it?"

I don't know if it is this bill, but ones I have seen make it a state crime for federal agents to attempt to enforce such laws, and subjects them to arrest and imprisonment by local authorities.

No, it does not do that. It may not stop BATFE from enforcing the rules for Federal Firearms Licenses. But to withdraw local support from the federal government on these issues means a great deal.

Want to raid someones house because somebody said they violated the gun free school zone act? Sorry, you have to get only federal agents, and we will not back you up.

It virtually renders the gun free school zone act void in Arizona.

Here's the link to the Arizona State Legislature site with bill text, overview, schedules, and vote results.

SB1294 passed the Senate Judiciary Committee, but still needs to be debated in the Senate Rules Committee. The text of the bill indicates that it only penalizes state agents/agencies if they try to uphold Federal laws that the bill declares to be invalid.
