AI Summary
This bill repeals the authority for the issuance and execution of "no-knock" search warrants, which allowed officers to enter a property without first announcing their presence and purpose. Instead, the bill requires officers executing a search warrant to first announce their authority and purpose before entering. The bill also limits the execution of search warrants to between 8:00 AM and 7:00 PM, unless there are exigent circumstances. Additionally, the bill outlines specific requirements for the application and issuance of search warrants, including the use of body-worn cameras by officers during the execution of the warrant. Finally, the bill provides procedures for the restoration of property seized under a search warrant.
