Open in Lexace · Ask the AI about this section
1. An individual is criminally liable for any conduct the individual performs in the name of an
organization or in its behalf to the same extent as if it were performed in the individual's own name or
behalf. Such an individual must be sentenced as if the conduct had been performed in the individual's
own name or behalf.
[PL 2007, c. 173, §15 (AMD).]
2. If a criminal statute imposes a duty to act on an organization, any agent of the organization
having primary responsibility for the discharge of the duty is criminally liable if the agent recklessly
omits to perform the required act, and the agent must be sentenced as if the duty were imposed by law
directly upon the agent.
[PL 2007, c. 173, §15 (AMD).]
