2006 Utah Code - 76-2-306 — Voluntary intoxication.

     76-2-306.   Voluntary intoxication.
     Voluntary intoxication shall not be a defense to a criminal charge unless such intoxication negates the existence of the mental state which is an element of the offense; however, if recklessness or criminal negligence establishes an element of an offense and the actor is unaware of the risk because of voluntary intoxication, his unawareness is immaterial in a prosecution for that offense.

Enacted by Chapter 196, 1973 General Session
