Requires persons convicted or adjudicated in another state or country for offenses comparable to Minnesota's registrable crimes to register in Minnesota if they enter and remain for 14 days or longer, provided ten years have not elapsed since conviction or release from confinement.

Expands predatory offender registration requirements to include attempt, aiding, abetting, and conspiracy to commit specified felonies such as murder, kidnapping, criminal sexual conduct, and indecent exposure.

Establishes registration procedures for persons lacking a primary address, requiring weekly in-person reporting to law enforcement and allowing alternative reporting procedures with documented justification and monthly minimum reporting.

Clarifies that persons convicted of new offenses while registered must continue registration for ten years from their last release from incarceration or until probation/supervised release expires, whichever is later, with "incarcerated" including credit for time served prior to conviction or revocation.

Increases criminal penalties for violating registration requirements to felony charges with sentences of 1-5 years imprisonment for first violations and 2-5 years for repeat violations, and prohibits probation or early release until full sentence is served.
