Hearing (House)
Summary
The bill repeals the ability of judges to issue no‑knock warrants and mandates that any search warrant be executed only after officers announce their authority and purpose, with a minimum 20‑second pause for occupants to respond. It also restricts execution to between 8 a.m. and 7 p.m., bans military‑style devices absent exigent circumstances, and adds reporting and property‑return procedures. The measure affects law‑enforcement agencies, judges, and individuals whose homes may be searched.
