S.B. 738                                                  VETOES

(d)     "Exerts control" includes but is not limited to the taking, carrying away,
appropriating to one's own use or sale, conveyance, transfer of title to, interest in, or
possession of property. The term "exerts control" does not include trespassing on the land
of another or occupying without authorization the land of another.

(e)     "Knowingly" - A person acts knowingly with respect to conduct or to a
circumstance described by a statute defining an offense when he is aware of his conduct

result will be caused by his conduct. When knowledge of the existence of a particular fact
is an element of an offense, that knowledge is established if a person is practically certain
of its existence. Equivalent terms such as "knowing" or "with knowledge" have the same
meaning.

or any other interest in the property involved, even though that interest or possession is

the property.
