Taylor, a 26-year-old Black woman, died in a botched police raid on her apartment in March 2020, when police shot her several times. A subsequent investigation by the Louisville Courier Journal found that no-knock search warrants are disproportionately executed against Black Americans and Americans of color. Despite growing cries to ban the practice outright, as is stipulated in the eponymous Breonna’s Law following her death, Beshear’s legislation bans no-knock warrants on drug cases. “I cannot know the depths of pain caused by systematic racism, but in my administration we are committed to listening and continuing to act,” Beshear said at the signing. “I am signing Senate Bill 4 to help ensure no other mother knows Tamika Palmer’s grief at the loss of her daughter Breonna Taylor. This is meaningful change and it will save lives.”
