The Louisville Metro Council voted unanimously on Thursday in favor of “Breonna’s Law,” a proposal that prohibits police officers and other public safety officials from executing no-knock search warrants during the course of an investigation.

WFPL reports that the measure, which was approved 26-0, was signed on Friday by Mayor Greg Fischer: “It is with a profound sense of hope that I now sign this legislation, which writes Breonna Taylor’s name into the law, into the history of this city, of this country, forever.”
