Summary

The bill mandates that any state or local government employee must obtain a warrant before entering privately owned land or taking personal items, unless specific exceptions apply such as owner consent or emergency situations. It also sets procedural steps for agents, like notifying owners and using body‑worn cameras. Violations would render evidence and arrests invalid.
