11.8 	~~knowingly~~ violates any of its provisions or intentionally provides false information to a 
11.9 	corrections agent, law enforcement authority, or the bureau is guilty of a felony and may

12.18 	for a new offense or following a revocation of probation, supervised release, or conditional 
12.19 	release for any offense, the person shall continue to register until ten years have elapsed 
12.20 	since the person was last released from incarceration or until the person's probation, 
12.21 	supervised release, or conditional release period expires, whichever occurs later.
12.22 	(d) A person shall continue to comply with this section for the life of that person:
12.23 	(1) if the person is convicted of or adjudicated delinquent for any offense for which 
12.24 	registration is required under subdivision 1b, or any offense from another state or any federal

13.3 	(4) if the person is required to register under subdivision 1b, paragraph (c), following 
13.4 	commitment pursuant to a court commitment under Minnesota Statutes 2012, section 
13.5 	253B.185, chapter 253D, Minnesota Statutes 1992, section 526.10, or a similar law of

13.15 	(b) The data may be used only by law enforcement and corrections agencies for law 
13.16 	enforcement and corrections purposes. Law enforcement or a corrections agent may disclose 
13.17 	the status of an individual as a predatory offender to a child protection worker with a local 
13.18 	welfare agency for purposes of doing a family assessment under section 626.556. A 
13.19 	corrections agent may also disclose the status of an individual as a predatory offender to 
13.20 	comply with section 244.057.
13.21 	(c) The commissioner of human services is authorized to have access to the data for:
13.22 	(1) state-operated services, as defined in section 246.014, for the purposes described in 
13.23 	section 246.13, subdivision 2, paragraph (b); and

13.29 	for 30 days or longer for failure to provide the offenders' primary or secondary addresses,

14.6 	subdivision 7. The bureau shall review the request and promptly take reasonable action to 
14.7 	treat the data as private, if the offender has complied with the requirement that the offender 
14.8 	provide the offender's primary and secondary addresses, has returned the verification form 
14.9 	or has returned to the primary address, or promptly notify the offender that the information 
14.10 	will continue to be treated as public information and the reasons for the bureau's decision.

14.22 	period that the person is required to register. The superintendent shall maintain this data in

14.24 	private data on individuals under section 13.02, subdivision 12, but may be used for law 
14.25 	enforcement and corrections purposes. Law enforcement or a corrections agent may disclose 
14.26 	the status of an individual as a predatory offender to a child protection worker with a local 
14.27 	welfare agency for purposes of doing a family assessment under section 626.556. A
