§ 1-11. Culpable mental state

(a) If the maximum allowable fine for an offense does not exceed $500.00, but the definition does not prescribe a culpable mental state, a culpable mental state is not required to prove any such offense.

(b) If the maximum allowable fine for an offense exceeds $500.00, but the definition of the offense does not prescribe a culpable mental state, the culpable mental state shall be "recklessly" or "with recklessness."

(c) A person acts recklessly, or is reckless, with respect to circumstances surrounding his conduct or the result of his conduct when he is aware of but consciously disregards a substantial justifiable risk that the circumstances exist or the result will occur. The risk must be of such a nature and degree that its disregard constitutes a gross deviation from the standard of care that an ordinary person would exercise under all the circumstances as viewed from the actor's standpoint.
