 Tennessee welcomed 2026 with sweeping new legislation aimed at strengthening public safety, regulating emerging industries, and protecting vulnerable populations. According to WSMV 4 Nashville, changes to SNAP, the launch of a domestic violence registry, and new training for tattoo artists rank among the most significant laws taking effect this month.

One of the most discussed new laws creates a public registry for repeat domestic violence offenders. Called Savanna's Law, it requires the Tennessee Bureau of Investigation to maintain a statewide registry that gives victims, families, and the public access to information about individuals with multiple domestic violence convictions. The law is named after Savanna Puckett, a 22-year-old Robertson County sheriff's deputy murdered in her Springfield home in 2022. According to Rutherford Source, registrants will pay a 100-dollar fee directed toward grants that fund family violence prevention and intervention services.

Tennessee is also cracking down on hemp-derived products. Beginning January 1st, the state banned the sale of hemp products containing more than 0.3 percent Delta-9 THC, effectively removing high-THCA flower and vape products from store shelves. The Tennessee Alcoholic Beverage Commission now oversees the industry, requiring licenses, product testing, and stricter rules for packaging and sales. The minimum age to purchase hemp products has been raised to 21.

In workforce safety, bartenders and other hospitality workers must now receive training to recognize and respond to signs of sexual assault and human trafficking. Tattoo artists face new requirements under the Ink of Hope Act, which mandates training on spotting signs of human trafficking when renewing licenses. Advocates emphasize that traffickers sometimes use tattoos for control, making artists crucial allies in prevention efforts.

DUI enforcement has become stricter. According to MCO Observer, drivers suspected of driving under the influence who refuse breath or saliva tests now face automatic violations and longer license suspensions. Saliva tests are now officially allowed and admissible in court, with lawmakers aiming to discourage refusals and keep impaired drivers off roads.

On infrastructure, Bedford County is seeing substantial development. A new state-of-the-art MTSU Aerospace facility officially began construction in December 2025, with over 1,400 aerospace students and more than 50 airplanes planned to relocate there throughout the year. The county also completed classroom additions at Liberty School and renovations at Cascade Middle School.

Looking ahead, listeners should watch for implementation challenges as agencies begin enforcing these new regulations. The hemp industry will face significant transition periods as businesses comply with stricter standards. Additionally, the effectiveness of Savanna's Law in preventing repeat offenses will be closely monitored by advocates and policymakers alike.
