The legislation would prohibit no-knock warrants, which allow law enforcement officials to forcibly enter a home without announcing their authority or purpose. Congressman Morgan McGarvey (D-KY-03) introduced companion legislation in the U.S. House of Representatives.\n\n\u201cIt\u2019s been more than five years since Breonna Taylor\u2019s horrific death, and Congress has still failed to pass a public safety bill prohibiting no-knock entries at the federal level,\u201d said Senator Booker. \u201cThe Justice for Breonna Taylor Act is bipartisan, bicameral legislation that would ensure no one has to experience the terror of police barging into their home unannounced. Many cities and states, including Louisville, Kentucky, where Breonna was fatally shot, have already banned no-knock warrants. It\u2019s past time we take federal action to ensure a tragedy like Breonna\u2019s death never happens again.\u201d\n\n\u201cKentucky recognized that no-knock warrants pose serious and unnecessary risks to both the public and law enforcement, and wisely restricted their use. The federal government should follow Kentucky\u2019s lead and ensure this high-risk tactic is constrained,\u201d said Senator Paul.\n\nThe bill is named in memory and honor of Breonna Taylor, a Louisville resident and EMT who was killed during a police raid on her home in March 2020, which was conducted under the authority of a no-knock warrant.\n\nThe Justice for Breonna Taylor Act would require federal law enforcement officers to provide notice of their authority and purpose before they could execute a warrant, and it would require the same of any state or local law enforcement agency that receives funds from the Department of Justice.", 1, "2026-03-30T01:40:41Z", "2026-04-06T20:09:11Z"]], "columns": ["url", "title", "date", "year", "month", "party", "chamber", "state", "member_name", "bioguide_id", "domain", "scraper", "source", "date_source", "text", "has_text", "collected_at", "updated_at"], "primary_keys": ["url"], "primary_key_values": ["https://www.booker.senate.gov/news/press/12/11/2025/booker-paul-reintroduce-justice-for-breonna-taylor-act"], "units": {}, "query_ms": 0.7665830198675394, "source": "dwillis/congress-press", "source_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press", "license": "MIT", "license_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press/blob/main/LICENSE"}
