AN ACT relating to crimes and punishments.

Summary

The bill changes Kentucky’s definition of a criminal offense, requiring that a person must have performed a voluntary act or omitted a duty they were capable of performing, and must have acted intentionally, knowingly, wantonly, or recklessly. It applies to anyone charged with a crime, except for offenses that impose absolute liability. The change aims to ensure that only those who consciously engage in prohibited conduct can be convicted.
