OPINION
STRINGER, J.
The question before us is whether the State of Minnesota has subject-matter jurisdiction over the traffic offenses of failure to produce proof of insurance in violation of Minn.Stat. § 169.791 (1998), and driving after revocation in violation of Minn.Stat. § 171.24, subd. 2 (1998), when these offenses are committed by enrolled tribal members on the tribal reservation. We hold that under our ruling in State v. Stone, 572 N.W.2d 725 (Minn.1997), the state lacks jurisdiction because these offenses are not violations of criminal laws. We affirm the court of appeals.
