Establishes a registry for persistent domestic violence offenders in Tennessee.

This bill, known as "Savanna's Law," creates a registry for persistent domestic violence offenders within the Tennessee Bureau of Investigation (TBI). It defines a "persistent domestic violence offender" as someone convicted of an offense against a domestic abuse victim with at least one prior conviction for such an offense. The TBI will maintain the registry, which includes the offender's name, date of birth, conviction date, county of conviction, and photograph. The registry will be accessible to the public online.
