OPINION
ANDERSON, PAUL H., Justice.In December 2004, the Cass County Attorney filed a complaint against Peter John Jones for failing to register his current address with the appropriate authorities. More particularly, the county attorney charged Jones with violating Minn. Stat. § 243.166 (2002),1 which requires a person who is convicted of certain “predatory” offenses to register his current address with the appropriate authorities and to complete and return address-verification forms. Jones, who is an enrolled Indian tribal member and resides on his reservation, moved to dismiss the charges, arguing that section 243.166 is civil/regulatory in nature and therefore the State of Minnesota lacks subject matter jurisdiction to prosecute Jones. The state responded by asserting that section 243.166 is crimi*3nal/prohibitory in nature and therefore the state has subject matter jurisdiction to prosecute Jones. The Cass County District Court granted Jones’s motion to dismiss and the Minnesota Court of Appeals affirmed. State v. Jones, 700 N.W.2d 556, 558 (Minn.App.2005). Because we conclude that a tribal member’s violation of section 243.166 is a criminal/prohibitory offense and therefore the state has subject matter jurisdiction, we reverse.
Respondent Peter John Jones is an enrolled member of the Leech Lake Band of Ojibwe and resides on the- Leech Lake Indian Reservation. In 1996, he committed an offense for which he was subsequently convicted of and sentenced for kidnapping under Minn.Stat. § 609.25 (2006). A person convicted of kidnapping is required to register his current address with the proper authorities. Minn.Stat. § 243.166, subd. 1(a)(1)(h) (2002).
In July 2001, as required by MinmStat. § 243.166, Jones registered his Leech Lake Reservation address. On July 1, 2002, and June 30, 2003, the Minnesota Bureau of Criminal Apprehension (BCA) sent Jones address-verification requests, but Jones failed to reply as required by Minn.Stat. § 243.166, subd. 4(e)(2) (2002). Subsequently, on July 21, 2003, Jones completed a change of address form, notifying the BCA that he had moved to a new address on the Leech Lake Reservation. On July 24, 2003, the BCA sent Jones an address-verification request, and Jones again failed to reply. On March 11, 2004, a Cass County deputy sheriff, who was performing routine checks on registered offenders, checked the address provided by Jones on his change of address form. Jones’s mother was at the address Jones had provided to the BCA. She informed the deputy that her son was no longer living at that address and provided the deputy with her son’s current address, which was also on the Leech Lake Reservation. On March 30, 2004, the BCA sent an address-verification request to the address provided by Jones’s mother, and Jones again failed to reply. Finally, on June 28, 2004, the BCA sent an address-verification request to the last address Jones reported to the BCA, but Jones did not reply.
In December 2004, the state charged Jones with one count of failing to notify the BCA of his change of address and five counts of failing to return the required address-verification forms in violation of Minn.Stat. § 243.166, subds. 3(b), 4(e), 5 (2002). Jones moved to dismiss the charges, arguing that the State of Minnesota lacked subject matter jurisdiction to prosecute him. A hearing was held on the motion and the district court granted Jones’s motion to dismiss. The court concluded that Minn.Stat. § 243.166 is civil/regulatory in nature, and therefore the state lacked subject matter jurisdiction to prosecute Jones. The state appealed, and the court of appeals affirmed the district court. Jones, 700 N.W.2d at 558. The state then sought review by our court, arguing that both the district court and the court of appeals erred in concluding that the state lacked jurisdiction.
Jones is charged with violating section 243.166, which requires registration by persons who have been convicted or adjudicated delinquent of first-degree murder involving criminal sexual conduct; kidnapping; criminal sexual conduct; indecent exposure; a variety of solicitation and pornography offenses involving minors, or another offense arising out of the same circumstances; and persons convicted of a so-called predatory crime and sentenced as a patterned sex offender under Minn.Stat. *4§ 609.108 (2002).2 Minn.Stat. § 248.166, subd. 1(a) (2002). Additionally, Minn.Stat. § 243.167 (2002)3 requires persons to register under section 243.166 who (1) have been convicted of a specified “crime against the person” and have previously been convicted or adjudicated of an offense listed in section 243.166, subd. 1(a), but were not required to register at the time; or (2) have previously completed the registration requirements of section 243.166 and commit a crime against the person. A Minnesota resident who is subject to these sections is. required to register with his assigned corrections agent or,‘if none, with the law enforcement authority in the area of his residence. Minn.Stat. § 243.166, subd. 3(a) (2002).
At least five days before starting to live at a new primary residence, a person subject to section 243.166 is required to give written notice of his new address to the corrections agent or law enforcement authority with which he is registered. Id., subd. 3(b). Changes in primary address are forwarded to the BCA. Id. The BCA is required to mail an address-verification form to the person’s last reported address, and the person is required to return the signed form by mail within ten days after receiving it. Id., subd.' 4(e). A person required to register under this section who knowingly violates any of its provisions or intentionally provides false information is guilty of a felony with a maximum sentence of five years in prison, a fine up to $10,000, or both. Id., subd. 5(a) (2002). The minimum sentence is one year and one day for the first offense and two years for a subsequent offense. Id., subd. 5(b)-(c) (2002). Whether the State of Minnesota has jurisdiction to enforce section 243.166 with respect to Jones, who is an enrolled member of an Indian tribe charged with an offense committed on his reservation,4 is an issue that we review de novo. See State v. Busse, 644 N.W.2d 79, 82 (Minn.2002).
We begin our analysis with the premise that the state’s authority to exercise subject matter jurisdiction over Indians is governed by federal law. See Act of Aug. 15, 1953, Pub.L. No. 280, 67 Stat. 588 (partially codified at 18 U.S.C. § 1162 (2000)); accord State v. R.M.H., 617 N.W.2d 55, 58 (Minn.2000). Under Public Law 280, Minnesota has broad criminal and limited civil jurisdiction over all “Indian country” within the state, except for the Red Lake Reservation and the Bois Forte Reservation at Nett Lake. See State v. Stone, 572 N.W.2d 725, 728 & 728 n. 3 (Minn.1997). In we explained the analytical framework for determining whether the state has subject matter jurisdiction in a particular case:
[S]tate law does not generally apply to tribal Indians on their reservation absent express consent from Congress. However, even absent such express consent, a state may exercise its authority if the operation of federal law does not preempt it from doing so.
*5⅜ ⅜ ⅜ [T]he same analytical framework that we applied in Stone is appropriate here. * * * In order to determine whether Congress had expressly consented to state jurisdiction, we first examined Pub.L. 280, which expressly grants Minnesota broad * * * criminal and limited civil jurisdiction over specified areas of Indian country.
[[Image here]]
* * * This gj.^ 0f jurisdiction was intended to combat the problem of lawlessness on reservations and a lack of tribal law enforcement. * * * Pub.L. 280 grants states “broad criminal jurisdiction over offenses committed by or against Indians within all Indian country within the State.” * ⅜ ⅝ [A] state statute is “eriminaVprohibitory,” and therefore within Pub.L. 280’s grant of jurisdiction, if the statute is generally intended to prohibit certain conduct. * * * [A] statute does not fall within Pub.L. 280’s grant of jurisdiction if it generally permits the conduct at issue, subject to regulation. In the latter case, the statute is properly classified as “civil/regulatory” and Pub.L. 280 does not expressly grant the state jurisdiction to enforce the statute on an Indian reservation.
617 N.W.2d at 58-59 (citations omitted).
Applying this analytical framework, we must ascertain whether Minn.Stat. § 248.166 is civil/regulatory or criminal/prohibitory in order to determine whether Congress has expressly consented to Minnesota’s jurisdiction to enforce this statute against an enrolled tribal member residing on his reservation. See California v. Cabazon Band of Mission Indians, 480 U.S. 202, 207-08, 107 S.Ct. 1083, 94 L.Ed.2d 244 (1987); Busse, 644 N.W.2d at 83. The United States Supreme Court noted in Cabazon that the distinction between civil/regulatory and criminal/prohibitory is not a bright-line rule, and that “[t]he applicable state laws governing an activity must be examined in detail before they can be characterized as regulatory or prohibitory.” 480 U.S. at 210, 211 n. 10, 107 S.Ct. 1083.
In Stone, we adopted a two-step test to determine whether a law is civil/regulatory or criminal/prohibitory under Cabazon. 572 N.W.2d at 730. The first step is to determine the focus of our analysis — whether to analyze the broad conduct or the narrow conduct at issue. Id. We will focus on the broad conduct “unless the narrow conduct presents substantially different or heightened public policy concerns.” ' Id. When the narrow conduct presents substantially different or heightened public policy concerns, we will focus on the narrow conduct. Id.
After we determine the proper focus, the second step in the Caba-zon/Stone test is to determine if the conduct at issue is generally permitted but subject to regulation, or if it is generally prohibited. Id. Conduct generally permitted, subject to exceptions, is civil/regulatory, and conduct generally prohibited is criminal/prohibitory. Id. In close cases, we may utilize Cabazon’s “shorthand public policy test.” Id. In Stone, we concluded that under the “shorthand public policy test,” conduct is criminal/prohibitory if it violates the state’s public criminal policy. Id. We explained that “[pjublic criminal policy goes beyond merely promoting the public welfare. It seeks to protect society from serious breaches in the social fabric which threaten grave harm to persons or property.” Id. In Stone, we identified four nonexclusive factors that are useful in determining whether an activity violates public criminal policy in a manner serious enough to be considered “criminal”: (1) the extent to which the activity directly threatens physical harm to others or prop*6erty, or invades the rights of others; (2) the extent to which the law allows for exceptions and exemptions; (3) the blameworthiness of the actor; and (4) the nature and severity of the potential penalties for a violation of the law. Id. (footnote omitted).
To determine whether the state has subject matter jurisdiction to prosecute Jones for violating Minn.Stat. § 243.166, we must first identify the broad and narrow conduct covered by the statute and decide which conduct should be the subject of our focus under the Cabazon/Stone test. In its decision, the court of appeals stated, “We are unable to find any meaningful distinction here between broad and narrow conduct” and “[t]he conduct at issue is Jones’s failure to keep the authorities apprised of his residence address.” Jones, 700 N.W.2d at 559. The court then stated that “people living in Minnesota have no general obligation to register their residence addresses with state authorities,” and “the registration requirement for predatory offenders is an exception to that proposition.” Id. at 560.
We disagree with the court of appeals’ characterization of the broad conduct at issue as registration by Minnesota residents in general. We conclude that the broad conduct at issue is residing at an address or moving to a new address by Minnesota residents in general. The narrow conduct we must analyze is an identified predatory offender residing or moving without maintaining a current address registration with the proper authorities. Our characterization of the broad and narrow conduct at issue based on what is required or prohibited of certain populations is consistent with our approach in Busse. In Busse, we concluded that the broad conduct was driving by people in general, and the narrow conduct was driving by a person whose driver’s license had been can-celled as inimical to public safety. 644 N.W.2d at 83.5
Having identified the broad and narrow conduct at issue, we must next determine which conduct should be the subject of our focus under the Cabazon/Stone test. Stone, 572 N.W.2d at 730. As noted above, when the narrow conduct presents substantially different or heightened public policy concerns, we will focus on the narrow conduct in applying the Caba-zon/Stone test. Id. As the court of appeals correctly noted, Minnesota residents have no general obligation to register their residence address with state authorities. Registration is required only for those persons who have been convicted of certain felonies, including first-degree murder involving criminal sexual conduct, kidnapping, criminal sexual conduct, indecent ex*7posure, and a variety of solicitation and pornography offenses involving minors. We conclude that the fact that the legislature established a predatory offender registration system is an indication that the whereabouts of predatory offenders — in comparison with the whereabouts of the general population — “presents [a] substantially different or heightened public policy concern[ ].” Stone, 572 N.W.2d at 730.
Our review of the legislative history of section 243.166 indicates that the public policy concerns associated with persons convicted of specified predatory crimes have grown over time. Section 243.166 was enacted in 1991 in response to a highly publicized kidnapping. Act of June 1, 1991, ch. 285, § 3, 1991 Minn. Laws 1324, 1325; Governor’s Task Force on Missing Children Final Report 3, 7 (1991). In 1993, the legislature amended the statute to expand the scope of its application. Act of May 20, 1993, ch. 326, art. 10, § 1, 1993 Minn. Laws 1974, 2090. In 2000, after another highly publicized kidnapping, the legislature significantly revised section 243.166 and related statutes. Act of Apr. 3, 2000, ch. 311, art. 2, 2000 Minn. Laws 185, 189-207; Protection from Predators, Session Weekly (Minn. House of Reps. Pub. Info. Office), Mar. 31, 2000, at 14. The legislature increased the offense grade for a violation of section 243.166 from a gross misdemeanor to a felony and imposed a mandatory prison sentence for its violation. Art. 2, § 6, 2000 Minn. Laws at 194.
The 2000 revisions also brought Minnesota into compliance with requirements under the federal Jacob Wetterling Act. See Jacob Wetterling Crimes Against Children and Sexually Violent Offender Registration Act, Pub.L. No. 103-322, 108 Stat. 2038 (1994) (codified at 42 U.S.C. § 14071 (2000)). Among other things, the revisions required registration by additional offenders, lengthened the registration period for certain offenders, required the collection of additional information from certain offenders, required the BCA to maintain a computerized database of information on sex offenders, provided a procedure for treatment facilities to release information about offenders, expanded and clarified the community notification law, and authorized the posting of information about level III offenders on the Internet and the disclosure of certain information about noncompliant offenders. Act of Apr. 3, 2000, ch. 311, art. 2, 2000 Minn. Laws 185, 189-207. In 2003, the legislature defined “primary residence” and “secondary residence,” clarified that an offender must immediately notify the proper authorities when the offender’s primary address no longer applies, and clarified that new address and vehicle information must be provided even if the offender had not previously reported the information. Act of May 27, 2003, ch. 116, § 2, 2003 Minn. Laws 685, 686. To further illustrate the point that section 243.166 has undergone extensive expansion, we note that, in recent years, section 243.166 has significantly increased in length, going from approximately two pages of the statute books in 1998 to nine pages in 2006. Compare Minn.Stat. § 243.166 (1998) with Minn.Stat. § 243.166 (2006).
We conclude that the legislative history of section 243.166 indicates that a predatory offender residing or moving without maintaining a current address registration with the proper authorities presents a substantially different or heightened public policy concern when compared with Minnesota residents in general. We also conclude, based especially on the significant revisions to section 243.166 in 2000, that this public policy concern has increased during the last several years. We therefore conclude that our focus under the Cabazon/Stone test should be on the narrow conduct of a predatory offender *8residing or moving without maintaining a current address registration with the appropriate authorities.
Having concluded that the narrow conduct of a predatory offender should be our focus under the Cabazon/Stone test, our second step under the test is to determine if a predatory offender residing or moving without maintaining a current address registration is generally permitted, subject to exceptions, or if it is generally prohibited. Stone, 572 N.W.2d at 730. With our focus properly placed on the narrow conduct in this case, we conclude that the conduct is unequivocally prohibited by section 243.166. A person who is required to register under section 243.166 cannot legally avoid this requirement. The statute allows no exceptions. As we observed in Stone, conduct that is generally prohibited is criminal/prohibitory. 572 N.W.2d at 730. We therefore conclude that section 243.166 is properly categorized as criminal/prohibitory under the Cabazon/Stone test.
While we do not consider this to be a close case, we note that the same result would be mandated under the Caba-zon/Stone “shorthand public policy test.” Stone, 572 N.W.2d at 730. As noted above, when applying the “shorthand test,” we consider four nonexclusive factors in determining “whether an activity violates the state’s public policy in a nature serious enough to be considered ‘criminal.’ ” Id. First, we consider the extent to which the activity directly threatens physical harm to others or property, or invades the rights of others. In Busse, we concluded that it is appropriate to consider the nature of the charged offense in determining the extent to which an activity directly threatens physical harm. 644 N.W.2d at 85. In that case, Busse asserted that driving after his driver’s license had been cancelled as inimical to public safety could not pose heightened public policy concerns because he was not intoxicated at the time of the driving at issue. Id. We concluded that any driving by a person whose driver’s license had been cancelled as inimical to public safety because of at least three driving-under-the-influence convictions poses a risk to public safety. Id. at 85-86.
The same reasoning guides our analysis of the threat of physical harm to others posed by a predatory offender’s failure to maintain a current address registration. The rationale behind the registration requirement is that persons convicted of first-degree murder involving criminal sexual conduct, kidnapping, criminal sexual conduct, and other enumerated predatory crimes pose a greater risk to public safety than the general population. It is difficult to dispute that predatory offenders pose a threat to public safety. While registration information is generally classified as private data on individuals, it may be made public if an offender 16 years or older is out of compliance with registration requirements for 30 days or longer. Minn. Stat. § 243.166, subds. 7, 7a(a) (2002). The purpose of publicizing registration information of noncompliant offenders is “for the public to assist law enforcement in locating the offender.” Id., subd. 7a(a). We conclude that the need for the public to aid law enforcement in locating predatory offenders who fail to maintain a current address registration emphasizes the threat of direct physical harm that noncompliant offenders pose. We therefore conclude that the first factor of the Cabazon/Stone shorthand test supports our conclusion that section 243.166 is criminal/prohibitory.
Applying the second factor of the shorthand test — the extent to which the law allows for exceptions and exemptions — we note that section 243.166, subd. 5, categorically prohibits predatory offenders from *9failing to register and there is no exception in the law.
As to the third factor — the blameworthiness of the actor — Jones does not argue that he was unaware of the registration requirements of section 243.166. Moreover, such an argument would be unconvincing given Jones’s partial compliance with the statute. Jones registered as required in 2001 and submitted a change of address form to the BCA in 2003. But over the course of two years, Jones failed to return five address-verification forms that were sent to at least two different addresses provided by Jones himself and by his mother. We conclude that Jones was aware of the requirements of section 243.166and knowingly refused to comply with those requirements. We therefore conclude that Jones has demonstrated a high level of blameworthiness in failing to maintain a current address registration.
Finally, applying the fourth factor of the Cabazon/Stone shorthand test, we consider the nature and severity of the potential penalties for a violation of section 243.166. As noted above, a person required to register under section 243.166 who knowingly violates any of its provisions or intentionally provides false information is guilty of a felony with a maximum sentence of five years in prison, a fine up to $10,000, or both. MinmStat. § 243.166, subd. 5(a). The minimum sentence is one year and one day for a first offense and two years for a subsequent offense. Id., 5(b)-(c). The existence of a criminal penalty alone does not dictate that a law is criminal/prohibitory, and we do not rely exclusively on the criminal penalty here. See Cabazon, 480 U.S. at 211, 107 S.Ct. 1083. But the legislature’s determination that a violation of section 243.166 is a felony is one factor supporting a conclusion that section 243.166“seeks to protect society from serious breaches in the social fabric which threaten grave harm to persons or property.” Stone, 572 N.W.2d at 730.
Having applied each of the four factors in the Cabazon/Stone “shorthand public policy test” — namely, determining the extent to which a predatory offender’s failure to maintain a current address registration directly threatens physical harm to others; the extent to which section 243.166 allows for exceptions and exemptions; Jones’s blameworthiness; and the nature and severity of the potential penalties for a violation of section 243.166 — we believe that our conclusion that section 243.166 is criminal/prohibitory in nature is well-supported by our decision in Stone.
Our application of the Cabazon/Stone test has led us to conclude that it is not a close call whether section 243.166 is criminal/prohibitory; but our Cabazon/Stone analysis does not end our inquiry. Specifically, we must address Jones’s argument that our holdings in Boutin v. LaFleur, 591 N.W.2d 711, 717 (Minn.1999), and Kaiser v. State, 641 N.W.2d 900, 907 (Minn.2002), mandate a conclusion that section 243.166is civil/regulatory in nature. We disagree with this argument because section 243.166 has been significantly revised since these cases were decided and because neither case addressed the classification of section 243.166 under the Caba-zon/Stone test.6 In Boutin and Kaiser we were not asked — nor did we determine— whether section 243.166 is criminal/prohibitory versus civil/regulatory under Caba-zon. Because this question was not before us, we did not conduct the two-step Caba-zon/Stone test to reach our decisions.
*10In addressing the heightened public policy concerns under the Cabazon/Stone test, we have already noted the significant revisions to section 243.166 and related statutes by the 2000 legislature; but those revisions are worth repeating here. The 2000 revisions increased the offense grade for a violation of section 243.166 from a gross misdemeanor to a felony, brought Minnesota into compliance with requirements under the federal Jacob Wetterling Act, required registration by a larger group of offenders, lengthened the registration period for certain offenders, required the collection of additional information from certain offenders, required the BCA to maintain a computerized database of information on sex offenders, provided a procedure for treatment facilities to release information about offenders, expanded and clarified the community notification law, and authorized the posting of information about level III offenders on the Internet and disclosure of certain information about noncompliant offenders. Act of Apr. 3, 2000, ch. 311, art. 2, 2000 Minn. Laws 185,189-207.
Significantly, both Boutin and Kaiser addressed the 1998 version of section 243.166, which did not reflect the foregoing revisions. Moreover, in Boutin and Kaiser, we addressed an entirely different issue — whether the duty to register under section 243.166 is a punishment for a conviction of a predatory offense — not whether the failure to maintain a current address registration is generally prohibited conduct. More particularly, in Boutin and Kaiser we were asked to determine whether the duty to register as a predatory offender as a consequence of a conviction for a specified offense is, in essence, a punishment from which we could conclude that section 243.166 is criminal, punitive rather than civil, regulatory in nature.
Boutin was a declaratory judgment action challenging the section 243.166 requirement to register following conviction for “another offense arising out of the same set of circumstances” as a criminal sexual conduct charge. 591 N.W.2d at 713-14. Boutin argued that the statute violated substantive due process by infringing on his presumption of innocence because it presumed him guilty of an enumerated predatory offense of which he was not actually convicted. Id. at 716. Rejecting that claim, we held that the fundamental presumption-of-innoeence right only applies to statutes that “are punitive, or criminal, in nature.” Id. at 717. We then applied the factors the Supreme Court enumerated in Kennedy v. Mendoza-Martinez, 372 U.S. 144, 83 S.Ct. 554, 9 L.Ed.2d 644 (1963), and held that section 243.166 is not a punitive statute for due process purposes because (1) registration does not require an affirmative disability or restraint; (2) historically, registration statutes have not been regarded as punishment; (3) “the registration statute does not promote the traditional aims of punishment since it does not involve confinement and is not intended to exact retribution”; and (4) “the primary purpose of the statute is to create an offender registry to assist law enforcement with investigations.” Boutin, 591 N.W.2d at 717. Because we concluded that section 243.166 was not punitive, we concluded that the statute was “civil, regulatory” under the Kennedy analysis. Id.
In Kaiser, we similarly concluded that the statutory duty to register as a predatory offender that arises because of a conviction for a specified offense is not a “punitive” consequence of the conviction for the underlying offense. 641 N.W.2d at 907. Rather, the duty to register is a collateral consequence of a defendant’s guilty plea fof the underlying offense. Id. We reviewed our holding in Boutin, indicating that in Boutin we had applied the Kenne*11dy analysis and noted that the predatory offender statute does not require an affirmative restraint; that, historically, similar registration statutes have not been regarded as punishment; that the statute does not promote the traditional aims of punishment because it does not involve confinement and is not intended to exact retribution; and that the primary purpose of the statute is to create an offender registry to assist in law enforcement investigations. Kaiser, 641 N.W.2d at 905. We elaborated on the primary purpose of the statute by noting that section 243.166
is an expression of a policy statement— “society has the right to know of predatory offenders’ presence not in order to punish them, but in order to protect itself.” As statutes criminalizing the possession of firearms by convicted felons, or revoking driving privileges after a conviction for driving under the influence, require offenders to obey special regulations, the predatory offender law seeks to increase public safety by requiring a specific class of offenders to provide information to law enforcement authorities to assist in keeping track of them.
Id. at 905-06 (citation and footnotes omitted).
We acknowledge that our use in Boutin and Kaiser of the terms “punitive” — which we used interchangeably with “criminal”— and “civil, regulatory” could cause confusion in our analysis under the Caba-zon/Stone test, which distinguishes conduct that is “criminal/prohibitory” from that which is “civil/regulatory.” But “punitive” is not the same as “prohibitory,” and the definition of “regulatory” under the Kennedy analysis of Boutin and Kaiser does not have the same meaning as “regulatory” employed by Pub.L. 280 and Cabazon.7 Further, neither Boutin nor Kaiser required us to conduct an analysis under the highly refined Cabazon/Stone test, which we have applied here in a context that does not present a close call.8 Therefore, for all the foregoing reasons, we conclude that Boutin and Kaiser are distinguishable and do not require us to conclude that section 243.166 is civil/regulatory in nature under the Cabazon/Stone test.
At this point, it is necessary to note that the dissent apparently seeks to characterize our analysis as one that elevates form over substance. But in doing so, the dissent fails to fully appreciate the distinction between “criminal/prohibitory” and “punitive.” Specifically, the dissent fails to acknowledge that “criminal/prohibitory” for the purposes of the Cabazon/Stone test is substantively different from “punitive” for the purposes of the issues raised by Bout-in and Kaiser — respectively, the constitutional guarantee of due process and the right to withdraw a guilty plea.9 This *12failure leads the dissent to incorrectly construe the issue before us and, even worse, to apparently conclude that our decision will lead to discrimination against Native Americans in the due process context. Such discrimination is surely not our intention, and will not be the result from our decision.
Based on our conclusion that Minn. Stat. § 243.166 is criminal/prohibitory, we hold that the district court and court of appeals erred when they concluded that Minnesota courts do not have jurisdiction to enforce the statute against a tribal member who fails to register while residing on his Indian reservation. Therefore, we further hold that Minnesota courts have subject matter jurisdiction to enforce the charge of residing or moving without maintaining a current address registration against Jones, even though he is an enrolled member of the Leech Lake Band of Ojibwe who resides — and therefore violated section 243.166 — on the Leech Lake Reservation.

.Because Jones resides on his reservation, his failure to maintain a current address registration was necessarily an offense that was committed on his reservation.
. The dissent apparently contends that our identification of the broad and narrow conduct at issue in this case departs from Busse because
[t]he statute at issue in Busse dealt with [the broad conduct of driving and] the narrow conduct of driving after cancellation * * * by anyone whose driver’s license had been cancelled. In contrast, Minn.Stat. § 243.166 does not purport to bar registered offenders from living in certain areas or communities, and does not prohibit them from moving ⅜ * *.
But the “contrast” the dissent attempts to draw rests on a distinction without a difference. The broad conduct we identified in Busse — driving—is generally permissible except by a person whose license has been revoked under the relevant statute. Similarly, the broad conduct we identify in this case— residing at or moving to any address — is generally permissible except by predatory offenders who fail to maintain a current address registration as required by the relevant statute. That only "predatory offenders” — and not “anyone" — may engage in the narrow conduct at issue in this case does not provide a basis for the dissent’s apparent conclusion that we are departing from Busse, rather than applying it.
. Although Kaiser was decided in 2002, our opinion interpreted the 1998 version of section 243.166. 641 N.W.2d at 902.
. We further note that in Kennedy, the Supreme Court did not use the terms '‘civil” or "criminal”; rather, the Court’s analysis focused on whether the statute was “regulatory” or "penal.” See Kennedy, 372 U.S. at 168, 83 S.Ct. 554.
. At this point it is important to reiterate that Cabazon used Pub.L. 280 as its template and focused on the "prohibitory/regulatory” distinction made in this federal statute. The Supreme Court then went on to conclude that the "prohibitory/regulatory” distinction was not a bright-line rule, and the Court therefore established a test to make this distinction in close cases. Neither Boutin nor Kaiser focused on Pub.L. 280 or the "prohibitory/regulatory” distinction that Congress articulated. Cabazon, 480 U.S. at 207-11, 107 S.Ct. 1083.
.Moreover, the dissent fails to fully acknowledge that we do not have a choice as to whether we apply the Cabazon/Stone test in this case. Because the Cabazon/Stone test is federally mandated, we cannot alter or add nuances to it, as much as the dissent might like us to do so.
