  1.20  enforcement authority with which the person currently is

  2.12  person is leaving the state, the bureau of criminal apprehension 
  2.13  shall notify the registration authority in the new state of the 
  2.14  new address.  If the person's obligation to register arose under

  2.30  works or attends school outside of Minnesota shall register as a 
  2.31  predatory offender in the state where the person works or 
  2.32  attends school.  The person's corrections agent, or if the

  2.34  enforcement authority that has jurisdiction in the area of the 
  2.35  person's residence shall notify the person of this requirement.
