983 So.2d 531 (2008)
In re STANDARD JURY INSTRUCTIONS IN CRIMINAL CASESREPORT NO. 2007-4.
No. SC07-767.
Supreme Court of Florida.
May 22, 2008.
Judge Terry David Terrell, Chair, Committee on Standard Jury Instructions in Criminal Cases, First Judicial Circuit, Pensacola, FL, for Petitioner.
John Eddy Morrison, Assistant Public Defender, Eleventh Judicial Circuit, Miami, FL, on behalf of The Florida Public Defender Association; and James T. Miller, Jacksonville, FL, on behalf of The Florida Association of Criminal Defense Lawyers, Responding with comments.
PER CURIAM.
The Supreme Court Committee on Standard Jury Instructions in Criminal Cases (Committee) has proposed nine new standard criminal jury instructions in respect to the offenses of failure to register by sexual offenders (instructions 11.14 and 11.14(a)-(h)), and thirteen new instructions in respect to the offenses of failure to register by sexual predators (instructions 11.15 and 11.15(a)-(l)). The Committee asks that the Court authorize the proposed standard instructions for publication and use. We have jurisdiction. See art. V, § 2(a), Fla. Const.
The Committee originally published its proposals on November 1, 2006, in The Florida Bar News prior to submission to the Court, and received two comments. The Court thereafter directed that all referenced proposals be republished; the proposals appeared in the June 1, 2007, edition of The Florida Bar News. Two comments were filed in response to that publication. At the Court's direction, the Committee reexamined a number of the proposals, and on December 7, 2007, submitted the revised proposals that we authorize, as modified below.[1]
New instructions 11.14 and 11.14(a)-(g) pertain to offenses involving the failure to register as a sexual offender, as defined in section 943.0435, Florida Statutes (2007). New instruction 11.14(h) includes definitions for terms used in proposed instructions 11.14 and 11.14(a)-(g). Under section 943.0435, any person who is a "sexual offender" (as defined by subsection (1)(a)) is required to provide specific information to certain state or law enforcement agencies in order to satisfy the reporting requirements. See § 943.0435(2)-(4), (7)-(8), (14), Fla. Stat.
Common to instructions 11.14 and 11.14(a)-(g) is the element that the defendant is a "sexual offender." The State meets its burden on that element by either proving that the defendant is a sexual offender as defined in proposed instruction 11.14(h) or upon an agreement or stipulation by the defendant that he has been convicted as a sexual offender. Instruction 11.14(h) has been modified from that proposed by the Committee to include the statutory definitions for "electronic mail address" and "instant message name," pursuant to chapter 2007-143, section 10, Laws of Florida. Therein, the Legislature amended section 943.0435 to include "electronic mail address" and "instant message name" as required items to be provided by sexual offenders upon registering, effective October 1, 2007. See § 943.0435(2)(a)2, (4)(d), (14)(c)1, Fla. Stat.[2]
New instructions 11.15 and 11.15(a)-(k) pertain to offenses involving the failure to register as a sexual predator, as defined in section 775.21, Florida Statutes (2007). New instruction 11.15(l) includes definitions for terms used in proposed instructions 11.15 and 11.15(a)-(k). Under section 775.21, any person who is a "sexual predator" (as defined by subsection (4)) is required to provide specific information to certain agencies in order to satisfy the reporting requirements. See § 775.21(6), (10), Fla. Stat.
Instruction 11.15(e), derived from section 775.21(6)(f), Florida Statutes, pertains to the offense of Failure to Register as a Sexual Predator (Failure to Report to Department of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles). Under subsection (6)(f), a sexual predator who is not incarcerated and resides in the community, irrespective of whether he or she was under the supervision of the Florida Department of Corrections (DOC), must register at a driver's license office of the Department of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles, within forty-eight hours of registering either with the DOC or at the sheriff's office. In reporting to a driver's license office, "[i]f otherwise qualified, [the sexual predator must] secure a Florida driver's license, renew a Florida driver's license, or secure an identification card." § 775.21(6)(f)1, Fla. Stat. In doing so, the sexual predator must identify himself or herself as one who is required to comply with section 775.21(6)(f) and provide certain specified information. The Committee's proposal has been modified to address the failure to secure or renew a Florida driver's license or to secure an identification card.
We hereby authorize for publication and use the modified instructions as set forth in the appendix to this opinion. In doing so, we express no opinion on the correctness of those instructions and remind all interested parties that this authorization forecloses neither requesting additional or alternative instructions nor contesting the legal correctness of the instructions. We further caution all interested parties that any notes and comments associated with the instructions reflect only the opinion of the Committee and are not necessarily indicative of the views of this Court as to their correctness or applicability. The instructions as set forth in the appendix[3] shall be effective when this opinion becomes final. However, because the Court did not republish for comment the instructions filed on December 7, 2007, and modified by the Court, prior to their authorization, the Committee as well as interested persons shall have sixty days from the date of this opinion in which to file comments with the Court.[4]
It is so ordered.
LEWIS, C.J., and WELLS, ANSTEAD, PARIENTE, QUINCE, CANTERO, and BELL, JJ., concur.
