The state's attorney in the county where the offender currently resides shall respond to each petition to request exemption from the community safety zone restrictions.

(1) All information required for registration of convicted sex offenders in § 22-24B-8;
(2) A detailed description of the sex crime that was the basis for the offender to be subject to community safety zone restrictions;
