TN: Tennessee lawmakers push for ‘Savanna’s Law’ to create domestic violence offender registry

Source: fox17.com 3/13/25

NASHVILLE, Tenn. WZTV) — Some Tennessee lawmakers say they are taking decisive action to combat repeat domestic violence offenders with the introduction of a new bill known as “Savanna’s Law.”

The legislation proposes the creation of a publicly accessible registry for individuals convicted multiple times of domestic violence offenses, similar to existing sex offender registries.

The bill, which has gained momentum among legislators, seeks to increase transparency and protect potential victims by making crucial information readily available to the public. Under the proposed legislation, the Tennessee Bureau of Investigation (TBI) would oversee the registry, which would include offenders’ names, dates of birth, conviction dates and counties of conviction.

Depending on the number of convictions, an offender could remain on the registry for a period ranging from two to 20 years.

would be interesting to know how many domestic abusers with DUIs saw that a PFR lived down the street and said, “I don’t want that person living near my family”. Now the PFR can say, “I don’t want that person living near my family”.

MAGA needs to keep people divided and afraid. They need everybody so scared of their neighbors that they will agree to anything that promises to restore a sense of safety. They need everybody to be certain that everybody else wants to hurt them.

MAGA will continue to attempt to pass more and more divisive, destructive laws to keep everybody at each others throats. Continue to demand that all that are not MAGA are Enemies. That MAGA is their only hope, but only if they are given total, unquestionable power!

The Leader must be given unlimited power, or the enemies within will destroy you!

Soon, Trump will reveal the documents.
Then he will move to claim what “Rightfully belongs to America”.
Then Canada will push back.
Then he has the excuse he needs.

Probably near Maine. That boarder was disputed for years and years. That’s where the territory that “Rightfully belongs to America” is … the documents will “Prove that”. He’s not “Invading” just reclaiming territory that was stolen from America!

It’s all in the documents that he will soon “Discover”.

First they came for the people once convicted of a sex offense, then they came for the domestic abusers, then they came for…you.
