‘Savanna’s law’ named after woman killed by ex-boyfriend, who had extensive record of domestic violence allegations
A state law creating the first registry of people convicted of domestic abuse in the US took effect Thursday in Tennessee.
Named after Savanna Puckett, a woman who was shot to death by her ex-boyfriend in January 2022, “Savanna’s law” requires the Tennessee bureau of investigation to maintain a database of people who have been convicted of or pleaded guilty to at least two domestic violence offenses.
