A public agency receiving such application shall comply with the request.

(3)  A person shall cease to be eligible for an exemption under this chapter if such person ceases to be a law enforcement officer or a residing household member(s). Within thirty (30) days of such cessation, the person shall notify, in writing, every public agency to which the person has made an application stating that he or she is no longer eligible for such exemption. If a law enforcement officer changes employment but is still eligible for an exemption under this chapter, such law enforcement officer shall, within thirty (30) days of changing employment, submit a new application to every public agency to which such officer has made an application.

(4)  Nothing in this chapter shall prevent a public agency from obtaining the residential street address and telephone number of a law enforcement officer and of any residing household member(s). A law enforcement officer who has submitted an application pursuant to the provisions of this chapter shall provide his or her current Idaho residential street address to his or her employing entity.
