Effective - 28 Aug 1997
562.026. Culpable mental state, when not required. — A culpable mental state is not required:
(1) If the offense is an infraction and no culpable mental state is prescribed by the statute defining the offense; or
(2) If the offense is a felony or misdemeanor and no culpable mental state is prescribed by the statute defining the offense, and imputation of a culpable mental state to the offense is clearly inconsistent with the purpose of the statute defining the offense or may lead to an absurd or unjust result.
