Justice for Breonna Taylor Act

This bill prohibits federal law enforcement officers and state/local agencies receiving Department of Justice funding from executing no-knock warrants. Specifically, it requires officers to announce their authority and purpose before forcibly entering a residence. The law applies to all warrant executions by federal officers (as defined in 18 U.S.C. §115) and to state/local agencies receiving DOJ funds starting in the first fiscal year after enactment. It directly affects law enforcement agencies at all levels that use federal funding, changing how they execute search warrants. The core policy change is mandating audible notice before entry, replacing the previous no-knock practice.
