On page 4, beginning on line 12, after "(2)" strike all material through "warrant" on line 15 and insert "An officer may seek and a court may issue a search or arrest warrant granting an advance exception to the requirement for the officer to provide notice of his or her office and purpose when executing the warrant only when the totality of the circumstances are so exigent that the advance exception to the requirement is necessary to preserve life and provide for public safety"

EFFECT:

Provides that an officer may seek and a court may issue a no-knock warrant only when the totality of the circumstances are so exigent that granting an advance exception to the knock-and-announce requirement is necessary to preserve life and provide for public safety (rather than prohibiting officers from seeking and courts from issuing no-knock warrants).

Modifies the description of a no-knock warrant by referring to a warrant granting an advance exception to the knock-and-announce requirements, rather than an express exception to those requirements.
