Tennessee’s Savanna’s Law creates the nation’s first public registry for repeat domestic violence offenders, effective
January 1, 2026. The database, maintained by the Tennessee Bureau of Investigation, lists individuals convicted of
multiple domestic violence offenses with names, photos, and conviction details. The law honors Deputy Savanna
Puckett, who was murdered in 2022 by an abuser with prior convictions. It aims to improve victim safety and public
awareness of persistent offenders.
