PART V.  PERJURY AND RELATED OFFENSES

 

     §710-1060  Perjury.  (1)  A person commits the offense of perjury if in any official proceeding the person makes, under an oath required or authorized by law, a false statement which the person does not believe to be true.

     (2)  No person shall be convicted under this section unless the court rules that the false statement is a "materially false statement" as defined by section [710-1000].  It is not a defense that the declarant mistakenly believed the false statement to be immaterial.
