Tennessee could create registry for habitual domestic violence offenders in honor of slain Robertson Co. deputy
SUMMARY: A bill known as “Savanna’s Law,” aiming to establish a registry for repeat domestic violence offenders, passed the House Criminal Justice Subcommittee unanimously following heartfelt testimony from the mother of Savanna Puckett, a deputy murdered in 2022. The proposed public registry would list offenders after their second conviction, detailing their name, birthdate, photo, and conviction date. Offenders could remain on the list for 2 to 20 years. The bill, sponsored by Rep. Sabi Kumar, seeks funding to save lives, emphasizing that awareness of prior offenses could have prevented Puckett’s tragic death at the hands of a habitual offender.
