Justice for Breonna Taylor Act

The Justice for Breonna Taylor Act requires law enforcement officers to inform residents of their identity and purpose before entering a home, banning no-knock warrants for federal officers immediately and for state/local agencies receiving Department of Justice funds starting one year after enactment. Federal officers must provide this notice before entry, while state/local agencies using federal funding must implement the requirement in the first fiscal year following the bill’s passage. This law directly affects all federal law enforcement and state/local agencies that receive DOJ funding, changing how search warrants are executed. The key provision mandates notice before forced entry, ending the use of no-knock warrants for covered agencies.
