require a person:
        (1) convicted of an offense who is described in IC 10-13-6-10; IC 10-13-6-10(a); and
        (2) who has not previously provided a DNA sample in accordance with IC 10-13-6;

However, the supervising agency must require that the DNA sample be provided not more than seven (7) days after sentencing.

    (d) A person's failure to provide a DNA sample is grounds for revocation of the person's probation, community corrections placement, or other conditional release.
