This bill would prohibit federal law enforcement and state and local police departments that receive federal funding from executing no-knock warrants. The bill is named in honor of Breonna Taylor, who was killed in her Louisville home when officers entered under the authority of a no-knock warrant.\n\n\u201cLouisvillians remember Breonna Taylor and are still grieving the tragedy of her inexcusable killing by police. After Breonna\u2019s death, we passed a ban on no-knock warrants at the state and local level \u2014 if we can do this in Kentucky, we can do this nationally,\u201d said Rep. McGarvey. \u201cI\u2019m proud to partner with Senators Rand Paul and Cory Booker to move this important bill forward in the House and Senate. The Justice for Breonna Taylor Act is going to protect people and keep our communities safe.\u201d\n\n\u201cIt\u2019s long past time to get rid of no-knock warrants. This bill will effectively end no-knock raids in the United States, and I\u2019m pleased to work with Rep. McGarvey and Sen. Booker on this important legislation,\u201d said Dr. Paul.\n\n\u201cNo-knock warrants have been banned in Louisville and Lexington and severely restricted in the Commonwealth of Kentucky following Breonna Taylor\u2019s death. After working on this issue locally and statewide, the ACLU of Kentucky proudly supports this federal effort to limit these legalized home invasions that put lives at risk on either side of a door. We know it was Breonna Taylor\u2019s dream to save lives, and this proposed legislation would do just that. We applaud Congressman McGarvey and the bill\u2019s co-sponsors for taking this bold step toward healing and justice,\u201d said Amber Duke, ALCU-KY Executive Director.\n\nThe full bill text can be found here.\n\n###\n\nCongressman Morgan McGarvey represents Kentucky\u2019s Third Congressional District, including Louisville and Jefferson County.
