What this bill would do

This bill, titled the "Justice for Breonna Taylor Act," aims to prohibit no-knock warrants. It establishes a federal prohibition that prevents Federal law enforcement officers from executing a warrant until they provide notice of their authority and purpose. Additionally, it creates restrictions for State and local law enforcement agencies that receive Department of Justice funds. These agencies would be prohibited from executing warrants that do not require officers to provide notice before forcibly entering a premises.
