to coordinate with one another to develop an approach that allows
these departments to generate information identifying all sex
offenders living in licensed residential, child care, or foster care
facilities.

Services, and the Department of Alcohol and Drug Programs shall
coordinate with one another to develop an approach that allows these
departments to generate information on an as-needed basis that
