You work for a state legislator.

You work for a state legislator. She is very concerned about the state’s environment, particularly the introduction of nonnative, invasive species of plants. She asks you to draft a bill that makes it a crime to introduce such plants into the state’s environment. Assume you have a definition of a nonnative, invasive species. Draft a bill for her that applies the Model Penal Code’s four states of mind to different offenses. Grade the offenses from the highest to the lowest. Explain how each offense is different and why you graded the offenses as you did.
