Rand Paul introduced the Justice for Breonna Taylor Act in 2020 (paul.senate.gov) and reintroduced it as S.3414 in December 2025, with Congress.gov listing him as sponsor.

Supports. Paul's own 2020 press release states that 'Senator Rand Paul introduced the Justice for Breonna Taylor Act' to prohibit no-knock warrants.[2]
Supports. Congress.gov lists Paul as sponsor of S.3414, the Justice for Breonna Taylor Act, introduced 'Mr. Paul (for himself and Mr. Booker)' on December 10, 2025.[3]
Supports. AP reports Paul's remark that he is 'the very author of the Breonna Taylor law to prohibit no-knock raids,' and the 2025 Booker and McGarvey releases confirm Paul's continued lead role on the bill.[1][4][5]
Context. Sponsoring versus authoring is a difference of label; the record shows Paul introduced the bill, so the claim holds on a standard reading. The post's 'Brianna' misspelling and 'I think' hedge do not change the referent.[2][3]
