Prohibits warrantless searches of private residences by state employees, except under certain circumstances
Second Read and Referred S Judiciary and Civil and Criminal Jurisprudence Committee
Summary
The bill requires state agents to have a warrant before entering a private residence or land, unless the owner gives permission, there is a life‑threatening emergency, or evidence is about to be destroyed. Agents must notify occupants, show the warrant, and keep body‑cameras on while on the property. Any evidence or arrests obtained without complying are invalid, and victims can sue the state agency.
