Justice for Breonna Taylor Act

# Justice for Breonna Taylor Act (S 3414) - Summary **What the Bill Would Do:** The Justice for Breonna Taylor Act seeks to reform law enforcement practices related to no-knock warrants—search warrants that allow police to enter a property without announcing themselves beforehand. The bill would restrict when federal law enforcement can use no-knock warrants and would condition federal grant money to state and local police departments on their adoption of similar restrictions. This is a response to the 2020 fatal shooting of Breonna Taylor in Louisville, Kentucky, during a no-knock warrant execution. **Who It Affects:** The bill would primarily affect law enforcement agencies at all levels (federal, state, and local), as well as individuals subject to police searches.

It could also influence how police departments operate if they rely on federal funding. **Current Status:** As of now, the bill remains in committee, meaning it has not yet been debated or voted on by the full Senate. Its passage is not guaranteed, and it may not advance further in the legislative process.
