Ala. Code § 13A-2-3

Current with legislation from 2024 effective through April 25, 2024.
Section 13A-2-3 - Requirements for criminal liability in general and for offenses of strict liability and of mental culpability

The minimum requirement for criminal liability is the performance by a person of conduct which includes a voluntary act or the omission to perform an act which he is physically capable of performing. If that conduct is all that is required for commission of a particular offense, or if an offense or some material element thereof does not require a culpable mental state on the part of the actor, the offense is one of "strict liability." If a culpable mental state on the part of the actor is required with respect to any material element of an offense, the offense is one of "mental culpability."
