(b) A person:
(1) who will be placed on probation shall provide the sentencing court and the probation department with the address where the person intends to reside during the period of probation:
(A) at the time of sentencing if the person will be placed on probation without first being incarcerated; or

(2) who will be placed on parole shall provide the parole board with the address where the person intends to reside during the period of parole.
(c) A person, while on probation or parole, may not reside within one thousand (1,000) feet of the residence of the victim of the stalking unless the person first obtains a waiver under subsection (d) from the:
(1) court, if the person is placed on probation; or
(2) parole board, if the person is placed on parole.
(d) The court or parole board may waive the requirement set forth in subsection (c) only if the court or parole board, at a hearing at which the person is present and of which the prosecuting attorney has been notified, determines that:
(1) the person is in compliance with all terms of the person's probation or parole; and
(2) good cause exists to allow the person to reside within one thousand (1,000) feet of the residence of the victim of the stalking.
(e) If the court or parole board grants a waiver under subsection (d), the court or parole board shall state in writing the reasons for granting the waiver. The court's written statement of its reasons shall be incorporated into the record.
