C. The court shall provide information to the department of public safety to register the injunction with the national crime information center and shall notify the victim of the injunction.

D. If the victim did not request an injunction at the time of sentencing pursuant to subsection A of this section or the sentencing occurred before September 24, 2022, the victim may submit a petition to the superior court requesting an injunction against a defendant who was sentenced for an offense listed in subsection A of this section, and the court may not charge a fee for filing the petition. A law enforcement agency shall serve an injunction issued pursuant to this subsection at no charge to the victim.

E. An injunction that is issued pursuant to this section does not expire and is valid for the defendant's natural lifetime unless any of the following occurs:

1. The defendant makes a showing to the court that either:

(a) The victim has died.

(b) The conviction has been dismissed, expunged or overturned or the defendant has been pardoned.

F. Notwithstanding any other law, a conviction that is designated a misdemeanor pursuant to section 13-604, set aside pursuant to section 13-905 or sealed pursuant to section 13-911 does not affect the validity of a lifetime injunction that is issued pursuant to this section and does not prohibit a victim from submitting a petition to the superior court requesting a lifetime injunction.
