     9  sex offender submits a change of address to a law enforcement agency, or
    10  if a law enforcement agency facilitates the change of address  for  such
    11  sex  offender,  the  law  enforcement agency shall, within five business
    12  days, forward the change of  address  form  to  the  division.  The  law
    13  enforcement  agency  shall  provide  a copy of the completed form to the

    20  required fee shall not affect the acceptance  by  the  division  of  the
    21  change of address or change of status.
