§ 11-12-2-5 REGISTRANT REGULATIONS.
   (A)   Any sex offender who provides inaccurate information to the city has committed a separate violation of ASORNA.
   (B)   In the event of any change in registration information or addition of new information that would have been required in the initial or subsequent registration other than a change of address or employment governed by paragraphs (C) or (D) below, the registrant must notify APD and provide new valid information within three days of the time the new information becomes known or should be known by the registrant.
   (C)   A sex offender who is required to register under ASORNA and elects to change the address of any place of lodging including but not limited to a residence, extended stay establishment or homeless shelter must notify APD of the prospective change before the change occurs.
   (D)   A sex offender who is required to register under ASORNA and changes his place of employment must notify APD ten days before the voluntary change occurs or five days after the change is forced or compelled. Sex offenders must provide the name and telephone number of a new contact person within ten days of the time new work begins.
   (E)   When a sex offender registers under ASORNA, APD shall take and retain their photograph and a set of fingerprints. Additionally, APD may record and retain the person's shoe size, a DNA sample, dental imprints and a description of tattoos, scars and other identifying features that would assist in identifying the sex offender.
   (F)   Following the initial registration, ASORNA registrants, except homeless adults, are required to annually renew the registration before December 31 of each subsequent calendar year for 20 years. Homeless adults residing from time to time in homeless shelters must verify registration data in writing every 90 days as long as they are in the city on a form provided by APD. Sex offenders who have been convicted of two or more sex offenses or ASORNA violations must register for life.
   (G)   If any person receives a deferred sentence from any court for a sex offense that would otherwise trigger ASORNA registration, that person must register as if convicted unless they obtain an order from a court of competent jurisdiction which, after an evidentiary hearing on the issue, rules that registration is not required on the grounds that registration would grossly prejudice their rights. If the charges are dismissed against the person at the completion of the deferred sentence, the person does not have to renew registration in subsequent registration years.
   (H)   Any sex offender currently incarcerated in a correctional institution and temporarily at large and free to move about in the city is required to register under ASORNA ten days before each release date. This paragraph includes but is not limited to persons on probation, parole, furlough, work release or any similar program that results in or causes the person to be outside the confines of the institution for any reason.
