This bill amends K.S.A. 22-2510 to establish new requirements for law enforcement officers executing search warrants at dwellings. Specifically, it mandates that officers must be properly uniformed and must knock on the door to announce their presence in a manner that can reasonably be heard by the occupants before entering the premises. The bill also clarifies the definition of "dwelling" as a building or portion thereof intended for human habitation.

Additionally, the bill repeals the existing section of K.S.A. 22-2510, effectively replacing the previous legal language with the new stipulations regarding search warrant execution. The act will take effect upon its publication in the statute book.
