(2) Upon a person's subsequent conviction for an animal abuse offense, the TBI shall maintain the person's name and other identifying information, described in subsection (b), on the list published under subsection (a) for five (5) years following the date of the most recent conviction, after which time the TBI shall remove the person's name and identifying information from the list; provided, that the person is not convicted of another animal abuse offense during that five-year period.

(e) The list shall remain on the TBI website for such time as determined by the director.
