Highlight

Elements to an offense cannot be retroactively applied unless the Legislature expressly declares its intention to do so.
A charging document must sufficiently describe an offense based on the law in effect at the time the conduct occurred.
A defendant is not entitled to relief based on defective charging documents if the documents sufficiently allege an offense, based on the law in effect at the time the criminal conduct occurred, and the district court has jurisdiction over the matter.
