13    Section 1.  K.S.A. 21-3208 is hereby amended to read as follows: 21-
14  3208. (1) The fact that a person charged with a crime was in an intoxicated
15  condition at the time the alleged crime was committed is a defense only
16  if such condition was involuntarily produced and rendered such person
17  substantially incapable of knowing or understanding the wrongfulness of
18  his such person's conduct and of conforming his such person's conduct
19  to the requirements of law.
20    (2)  An act committed while in a state of voluntary intoxication is not
21  less criminal by reason thereof, but when a particular intent or other state
22  of mind is a necessary element to constitute a particular crime, and the
23  fact of voluntary intoxication may be taken into consideration in deter-
24  mining such intent or state of mind shall not be admitted into evidence.
25    Sec. 2.  K.S.A. 21-3208 is hereby repealed.
26    Sec. 3.  This act shall take effect and be in force from and after its
27  publication in the statute book.
