Sec. 11.81.610. - Construction of statutes with respect to culpability.
(a) [Repealed, Sec. 44 ch 102 SLA 1980].
(b) Except as provided in AS 11.81.600 (b), if a provision of law defining an offense does not prescribe a culpable mental state, the culpable mental state that must be proved with respect to
(1) conduct is "knowingly"; and
(2) a circumstance or a result is "recklessly."
(c) When a provision of law provides that criminal negligence suffices to establish an element of an offense, that element is also established if a person acts intentionally, knowingly, or recklessly. If acting recklessly suffices to establish an element, that element also is established if a person acts intentionally or knowingly. If acting knowingly suffices to establish an element, that element is also established if a person acts intentionally.
