The Missouri state highway patrol shall, subject to appropriation, create, and make available for public inquiry on the Internet a registry of any person who is a resident of this state and who on or after August 28, 2007, is convicted of, found guilty of, pleads guilty to, or who is granted a suspended imposition of sentence for committing or attempting to commit one or more of the following offenses: distribution, delivery, manufacture, or production of a controlled substance under section 195.211, RSMo, unlawful distribution to a minor under section 195.213, RSMo, distribution of a controlled substance near schools under section 195.214, RSMo, distribution of a controlled substance near public housing under section 195.218, RSMo, trafficking drugs in the first degree under section 195.222, RSMo, trafficking drugs in the second degree under section 195.223, RSMo, unlawfully providing materials for production of a controlled substance under section 195.226, RSMo, distribution of a controlled substance in violation of registration requirements under subdivisions (1) and (2) of subsection 1 of section 195.252, RSMo, when such offense involves methamphetamine, its salts, isomers, and salts of its isomers, or a methamphetamine precursor drug as defined in section 195.010, RSMo.

            2. The registry shall consist of the person's name, date of birth, offense or offenses making the person eligible for inclusion on the registry, the date the person was convicted, found guilty, pled guilty to or was granted a suspended imposition of sentence for the offense or offenses, the county of the offense or offenses, and other identifying data as the Missouri highway patrol determines is necessary to properly identify the person, but shall not include the person's Social Security number.

            4. The Missouri state highway patrol shall remove from the registry the name and other identifying information of persons who are convicted of, found guilty of, plead guilty to, or who are granted a suspended imposition of sentence for a violation of an offense making the person eligible for inclusion on the registry seven years after the date of the most recent judgment which would require inclusion on the registry.
