Tennessee is set to make history as it prepares to implement Savanna’s Law, which will establish the nation’s first public domestic violence registry starting January 1. This groundbreaking legislation mandates that individuals convicted of domestic violence offenses on two or more occasions will be included in this new registry. The law honors the memory of Savanna Puckett, a sheriff’s deputy from Robertson County who tragically lost her life due to domestic violence in 2022 at the hands of her boyfriend.
The Tennessee Bureau of Investigation will oversee the management of this registry, ensuring that it is maintained accurately and effectively. The registry will provide essential details about each offender, including their name, date of birth, the date and county of their conviction, as well as a photograph. This initiative aims to enhance public safety and awareness regarding domestic violence offenders within the state.
