Same: When Inapplicable

The culpable mental state requirements of § 4.25 and § 4.40 do not apply if the offense is a violation or if the law defining the offense clearly indicates a purpose to dispense with any culpable mental state requirement. SOURCE: M.P.C. § 2.05; *Cal. § 407 (T.D.1 1967); Mass. ch. 263, § 17; N.J. § 2C:2- 2C3. CROSS-REFERENCES: § 1.18 (f); this Code; § 4.25 & 4.40; this Code; § 4.45 & 4.60 of this Code. COMMENT: This is a new Section and expresses new law for Guam. The culpable mental state is dispensed with where the offense is a violation, thus is not a crime pursuant to § 1.18 of this Code; and where the definition of the offense clearly dispenses with such requirement.
