Opinion

PER CURIAM.

The Supreme Court Committee on Standard Jury Instructions in Criminal Cases (Committee) has submitted proposed changes to the standard jury instructions and requests that the Court authorize the new and amended instructions for publication and use. 1 The Committee proposes the following new instructions: 7.8(a)— Boating under the Influence Manslaughter; 10.18 — Altering or Removing Firearm Serial Number/Sale or Delivery of Firearm with Serial Number Altered or Removed; 11.17(a) — Soliciting a Child for Unlawful Sexual Conduct Using Computer Services or Devices; 11.17(b) — Soliciting a Parent of a Child for Unlawful Sexual Conduct Using Computer Services or Devices; 11.17(c) — Traveling to Meet a Minor; 11.17(d) — Traveling to Meet a Minor Facilitated by Parent or Custodian; 15.4— Robbery by Sudden Snatching; 28.1(a)— Driving Under the Influence Causing Property Damage or Injury; 28.5(a) — Racing on a Highway; 28.14 — Boating Under the Influence; 28.15 — Boating Under the Influence Causing Property Damage or Injury; 28.16 — Felony Boating Under the Influence; and 28.17 — Boating Under the Influence Causing Serious Bodily Injury. In addition, the Committee proposes amendments to the following instructions: 7.8 — Dl’iving Under the Influence Manslaughter; 28.1 — Driving While Under the Influence; 28.2 — Felony Driving Under the Influence; and 28.3 — Driving Under the Influence Causing Serious Bodily Injury. The Committee published the proposals for comment in The Florida Bar News prior to submission to the Court. No comments were received by the Committee.

Having considered the Committee’s report and the minority position, we hereby authorize the publication and use of the instructions, with the following modifications.

First, chapter 28, Traffic Offenses, is hereby renamed “Transportation Offenses.” Chapter 28 of the Standard Jury Instructions previously was limited to vehicle-related offenses. New instructions 28.14, 28.15, 28.16, and 28.17, relating to boating under the influence, are not traffic offenses or vehicle-related. Compare § 316.003(75), Fla. Stat. (2008) (“Vehicle” means “[ejvery device, in, upon, or by which any person or property is or may be transported or drawn upon a highway, excepting devices used exclusively upon stationary rails or tracks.”) (emphasis added); and § 316.003(57), Fla. Stat. (2008) (“Traffic” means “[pjedestrians, ridden or herded animals, and vehicles, streetcars, and other conveyances either singly or together while using any street or highway for purposes of travel.”) (emphasis added), with § 327.02(39), Fla. Stat. (2008) (“ ‘Vessel’ is synonymous with boat as referenced in s. 1(b), Art. VII of the State Constitution and includes every description of watercraft, barge, and airboat, other than a seaplane on the water, used or capable of being used as a means of transportation on water.”).

Second, in respect to instruction 11.17(b) — Soliciting a Parent, Legal Guardian, or Custodian of a Child for Unlawful Sexual Conduct Using Computer Services or Devices, we added the terms “legal guardian” and “custodian” to the title. A similar modification was made to the title of instruction 11.17(d) — Traveling to Meet a Minor Facilitated by Parent, Legal Guardian, or Custodian.

Finally, we added the statutory definitions for “deviant sexual intercourse,” section 847.001(5), Florida Statutes (2008), and “sexual bestiality,” section 847.001(15), to instructions 11.17(a), 11.17(b), 11.17(e), and 11.17(d). Both of these phrases are included in the definition of “sexual conduct,” which is used in those four instructions.

In authorizing the publication and use of the instructions as set forth in the appendix to this opinion, 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. New language is indicated by underlining, and deleted language is struck through. The instructions as set forth in the appendix 2 shall be effective when this opinion becomes final.

It is so ordered.

QUINCE, C.J., and WELLS, PARIENTE, LEWIS, CANADY, POLSTON, and LABARGA, JJ., concur.

2. If you find from the evidence that while driving or in actual physical control of a motor vehicle, the defendant had a blood or breath-alcohol level in excess of ⅛.05 but less than 0.08, that fact does not give rise to any presumption that the defendant was or was not under the influence of alcoholic beverages to the extent that [his] [her] normal faculties were impaired.

It is a defense to the charge of Driving under the Influence Manslaughter driving or being in actual physical -control of a vehicle while under the influence if at the time of the alleged offense, the vehicle was inoperable. However, it is not a defense if, while impaired, the defendant drove or was in actual physical control of the vehicle the defendant was driving under the influence before the vehicle it became inoperable. Therefore, if you are not convinced beyond a reasonable doubt that the vehicle was operable at the time of the alleged offense, you should find the defendant not guilty. However, if you are convinced that the vehicle was operable at the time of the alleged offense, then you should find the defendant guilty, if all the other elements of the charge have been proved beyond a reasonable doubt.

b. the firearm is in a container in the hand of or on the person, or

c. the firearm is so close as to be within ready reach and is under the control of the person.

Mere proximity to a firearm is not sufficient to establish control over that firearm when it is not in a place over which the person has control.

Constructive possession means the firearm is in a place over which (defendant) has control, or in which (defendant) has concealed it.

If the firearm is in a place over which (defendant) does not have control, the State establishes constructive possession if it proves that (defendant) (1) has knowledge that the firearm was within [his] [her] presence, and (2) has control over the firearm.

Possession may be joint, that is, two or more persons may jointly possess an article, exercising control over it. In that case, each of those persons is considered to be in possession of that article.

No lesser included offenses have been identified for this offense.

b. had a [blood] [breathj-alcohol level of .08 or more grams of alcohol per [100 milliliters of blood] [210 liters of breath].

If you find the defendant guilty of Boating under the Influence, you must also determine whether the State has proven beyond a reasonable doubt whether:

a. the defendant had a [blood] [breath]-alcohol level of .20 or higher while operating the vessel.

b. the defendant was accompanied in the vessel by a pei'son under the age of 18 years at the time of the boating under the influence.

“Vessel” means a boat that is subject to a license tax for operation and includes every description of watercraft, barge, and airboat, other than a seaplane, on the water used or capable of being used as a means of transportation on water.

“Normal faculties” include but are not limited to the ability to see, hear, walk, talk, judge distances, operate a vessel, make judgments, act in emergencies and, in general, to normally perform the many mental and physical acts of our daily lives.

“Operate” means to be in charge of or in command of or in actual physical control of a vessel upon the waters of this state, or to exercise control over or to have responsibility for a vessel’s navigation or safety while the vessel is underway upon the waters of this state, or to control or steer a vessel being towed by another vessel upon the waters of the state.

“Alcoholic beverages” are considered to be substances of any kind and description which contain alcohol.

When appropriate, give one or more of the following instructions on the “presumptions of impairment” established by § 327.35.j,(2)(a), (2)(b), and (2)(c), Fla. Stat.

L If you find from the evidence that while operating or in actual physical control of the vessel, the defendant had a [blood] [breath]-alcohol level of .05 or less, you shall presume that the defendant was not under the influence of alcoholic beverages to the extent that [his] [her] normal faculties were impaired; but this presumption may be overcome by other evidence demonstrating that the defendant was under the influence of alcoholic beverages to the extent that [his] [her] normal faculties were impaired.

2. If you find from the evidence that while operating or in actual physical control of the vessel, the defendant had a [blood] [breath]-aIco-hol level in excess of .05 but less than .08, that fact does not give rise to any presumption that the defendant was or was not under the influence of alcoholic beverages to the extent that [his] [her] normal faculties were impaired. In such cases, you may consider that evidence along with other evidence in determining whether the defendant was under the influence of alcoholic beverages to the extent that [his] [her] normal faculties were impaired.

3. If you find from the evidence that while operating or in actual physical control of the vessel, the defendant had a [blood] [breath]-alcohol level of .08 or more, that evidence would be sufficient by itself to establish that the defendant was under the influence of alcoholic beverages to the extent that [his] [her] normal faculties were impaired. But this evidence may be contradicted or rebutted by other evidence demonstrating that the defendant was not under the influence of alcoholic beverages to the extent that [his] [her] normal faculties were impaired.

It is a defense to the charge of Boating under the Influence if the vessel was inoperable at the time of the alleged offense, unless the defendant was controlling or steering the vessel while it was being towed by another vessel upon the waters of the state. However, it is not a defense if the defendant was boat ing under the influence before the vessel became inoperable.

a. the defendant had a [blood] [breath]-alcohol level of .20 or higher while operating the vessel.

b. the defendant was accompanied in the vessel by a person under the age of 18 years at the time of the boating under the influence.

“Vessel” means a boat that is subject to a license tax for operation and includes every description of watercraft, barge, and airboat, other than a seaplane, on the water used or capable of being used as a means of transportation on water.

When appropriate, give one or more of the following instructions on the “‘pre-swnvptions of impairment” established by § 327.351(2) (a), (2)(b), and (2)(c), Fla. Stat.

L If you find from the evidence that while operating or in actual physical control of the vessel, the defendant had a [blood] [breath]-alcohol level of .05 or less, you shall presume that the defendant was not under the influence of alcoholic beverages to the extent that [his] [her] normal faculties were impaired; but this presumption may be overcome by other evidence demonstrating that the defendant was under the influence of alcoholic beverages to the extent that [his] [her] normal faculties were impaired.

2. If you find from the evidence that while operating or in actual physical control of the vessel, the defendant had a [blood] [breath]-alcohol level in excess of .05 but less than .08, that fact does not give rise to any presumption that the defendant was or was not under the influence of alcoholic beverages to the extent that [his] [her] normal faculties were impaired.

Give as applicable if the jury finds the defendant is guilty of Boating Under the Influence. Note: A Driving Under the Influence conviction, whether in Florida or out-of-state, counts as a prior conviction. See § 327.35(6)(i), Fla. Stat. See State v. Harbawgh, 751 So.2d 691 (Fla. 2000).

Since you have found the defendant guilty of Boating under the Influence, you must now determine whether the State has proven beyond a reasonable doubt whether:

a. the defendant was previously convicted two times of Boating under the Influence and one of the prior Boating under the Influence convictions took place within 10 years of the Boating under the Influence that you found the defendant committed.

b. the defendant was previously convicted three times of Boating under the Influence.

This instruction should be used for Felony Boating under the Influence based on prior convictions. For Felony Boating under the Influence based on prior convictions, it is error to inform the jury of prior Boating or Driving under the Influence convictions before the verdict is rendered. Therefore, if the information or indictment contains an allegation of prior Boating or Driving under the Influence convictions, do not read that allegation and do not send the information or indictment into the jury room. If the defendant is found guilty of Boating under the Influence, the historical fact of prior convictions shall be determined separately by the jury in a bifurcated proceeding. See State v. Harbaugh, 754 SoM 691 (Fla.2000).
