7.2 	address, if any, or if the person lacks a primary address, where the person is staying, as 
7.3 	required by subdivision 3a. If the person has not registered with the law enforcement 
7.4 	authority, the bureau shall send one copy to notify that authority.
7.5 	(d) The corrections agent or law enforcement authority may require that a person required 
7.6 	to register under this section appear before the agent or authority to be photographed. The

7.21 	subdivision 3a, the bureau shall mail an annual verification form to the law enforcement 
7.22 	authority where the offender most recently reported. The authority shall provide the 
7.23 	verification form to the person at the next weekly meeting and ensure that the person 
7.24 	completes and signs the form and returns it to the bureau. Notice is sufficient under this 
7.25 	paragraph, if the verification form is sent by first class mail to the person's last reported 
7.26 	primary address, or for persons registered under subdivision 3a, to the law enforcement 
7.27 	authority where the offender most recently reported.
7.28 	(2) The person shall mail the signed verification form back to the bureau within ten days 
7.29 	after receipt of the form, stating on the form the current and last address of the person's

7.31 	any registration information as part of the verification process.
7.32 	(3) In addition to the requirements listed in this section, an offender who is no longer 
7.33 	under correctional supervision for a registration offense, or a failure to register offense, but 
7.34 	who resides, works, or attends school in Minnesota, shall have an in-person contact with a 
8.1 	law enforcement authority as provided in this section. If the person resides in Minnesota, 
8.2 	the in-person contact shall be with the law enforcement authority that has jurisdiction over 
8.3 	the person's primary address or, if the person has no address, the location where the person 
8.4 	is staying. If the person does not reside in Minnesota but works or attends school in this 
8.5 	state, the person shall have an in-person contact with the law enforcement authority or 
8.6 	authorities with jurisdiction over the person's school or workplace. During the month of the 
8.7 	person's birth date, the person shall report to the authority to verify the accuracy of the 
8.8 	registration information and to be photographed. Within three days of this contact, the 
8.9 	authority shall enter information as required by the bureau into the predatory offender 
8.10 	registration database and submit an updated photograph of the person to the bureau's 
8.11 	predatory offender registration unit.
8.12 	(4) If the person fails to mail the completed and signed verification form to the bureau 
8.13 	within ten days after receipt of the form, or if the person fails to report to the law enforcement 
8.14 	authority during the month of the person's birth date, the person is in violation of this section.
8.15 	(5) For any person who fails to mail the completed and signed verification form to the 
8.16 	bureau within ten days after receipt of the form and who has been determined to be subject 
8.17 	to community notification pursuant to section 253D.32 or is a risk level III offender under 
8.18 	section 244.052, the bureau shall immediately investigate and notify local law enforcement 
8.19 	authorities to investigate the person's location and to ensure compliance with this section. 
8.20 	The bureau also shall immediately give notice of the person's violation of this section to the 
8.21 	law enforcement authority having jurisdiction over the person's last registered primary
8.22 	address or addresses.
8.23 	(6) A law enforcement authority may determine whether the person is at that person's 
8.24 	primary address, secondary address, or school or work location, if any, or the accuracy of 
8.25 	any other information required under subdivision 4a if the person whose primary address, 
8.26 	secondary address, or school or work location, if any, is within the authority's jurisdiction, 
8.27 	regardless of the assignment of a corrections agent.
8.28 	For persons required to register under subdivision 1b, paragraph (c), following 
8.29 	commitment pursuant to a court commitment under Minnesota Statutes 2012, section 
8.30 	253B.185, chapter 253D, Minnesota Statutes 1992, section 526.10, or a similar law of

8.32 	(1) at least four two times each year. For persons who, under section 244.052, are assigned 
8.33 	to risk level III and who are no longer under correctional supervision for a registration 
8.34 	offense or a failure to register offense, the bureau shall comply with clause (1) at least two 
8.35 	times each year. For all other persons required to register under this section, the bureau shall 
9.1 	comply with clause (1) each year within 30 days of the anniversary date of the person's 
9.2 	initial registration.
9.3 	(f) When sending out a verification form, the bureau shall determine whether the person 
9.4 	to whom the verification form is being sent has signed a written consent form as provided 
9.5 	for in paragraph (a). If the person has not signed such a consent form, the bureau shall send 
9.6 	a written consent form to the person along with the verification form. A person who receives 
9.7 	this written consent form shall sign and return it to the bureau at the same time as the 
9.8 	verification form. For persons registered under this section on the effective date of this 
9.9 	section, each person, on or before one year from that date, must provide a biological specimen 
9.10 	for the purpose of DNA analysis to the probation agency or law enforcement authority

9.13 	requirements of this paragraph.
9.14 	(g) For persons registered under this section on the effective date of this section, each
