(2) If the offender does not reside in Missouri:
(a) Order the offender to report directly to the chief law enforcement official in the county or city not within a county where the adjudication was heard to register as provided in sections 589.400 to 589.425; and
(b) Complete the initial notification of duty to register form approved by the state judicial records committee and the Missouri state highway patrol and forward the form within three business days to the Missouri state highway patrol and the chief law enforcement official in the county or city not within a county where the offender was adjudicated.
