New York Penal Law Section 15.10 - Requirements for criminal liability in general and for offenses of strict liability and mental culpability.

15.10 Requirements for criminal liability in general and for offenses
        of strict liability and mental culpability.
The minimal 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 such
  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, such offense is  one  of
  "strict  liability." If a culpable mental state on the part of the actor
  is required with respect to every material element of an  offense,  such
  offense is one of "mental culpability."
