Show full summary
  • Residents: People inside a home would have to be told an officer's authority and purpose before officers force entry, which changes how warrants are executed in private residences.
  • Federal officers: Federal law enforcement officers would be prohibited from executing a warrant without first providing notice of their authority and purpose.
  • State and local agencies: Beginning in the first fiscal year after enactment, any state or local law enforcement agency that receives Department of Justice funds would be barred from executing a warrant that does not require officers to give that notice before forcible entry.
