The Supreme Court Committee on Standard Jury Instructions, in Criminal Cases (Committee) has submitted, proposed changes to, the standard jury instructions and asks that . the Court. authorize the amended standard instructions. We have jurisdiction. See art. V, § 2(a), Fla. Const.

- The Committee proposes amending the following existing standard criminal jury instructions: 28.1 (Driving Under the Influence); 28.1(a) (Driving Under the Inflüence Causing Property Damage or Injury); 28.2 (Felony Driving Under the Influence); 28.3 (Driving Under the Influence Causing Serious-Bodily Injury); 28.4 (Leaving the Scene of a Crash Involving [Death] [Serious Bodily Injury] [Injury]); 28.8(b) (Aggravated Fleeing or Eluding — Leaving a Crash- Involving Serious Bodily Injury, Injury or Death -then Causing Serious Bodily Injury or Death); 28.8(c) (Aggravated Fleeing or Eluding — Leaving a Crash Involving Damage to a Vehicle or Property then .Causing Serious. Bodily Injury or Death); 28.8(d) (Aggravated Fleeing or Eluding — Leaving, a Crash Involving Serious Bodily Injury, Injury or Death then Causing Injury or Property Damage to Another); 28.8(e) (Aggravated Fleeing or Eluding — Leaving a Crash Involving Damage to a Vehicle or Property then Causing Injury or Property Damage to Another); 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). The Committee also proposes the following new jury instruction: 28.4(b) (Leaving the Scene of a Crash Involving Damage to an Unattended Vehicle ,or Unattended Property).

Before filing its report with the Court, the Committee published its proposals for comment in The Florida Bar News, Three *1191 ■comments were received by the Committee: one from the Florida Association of Criminal Defense Lawyers (FACDL) pertaining to instruction 28.4(b); and one each from the Florida Public Defender Association, Inc. (FPDA) and Public Defender Blaise Trettis, both pertaining to the Driving Under the Influence (DUI) and Boating Under the Influence' (BUI) instructions. The Committee made some changes to its proposals upon consideration of the three comments. With respect to the DUI and BUI instructions, the Committee clarified the definition of “impaired.” With respect to instruction 28.4(b), the Committee added a comment to the instruction addressing the issue of mens rea. Because the Court did not view these changes as significant, the Court did not publish the Committee’s proposals for further comment. ■ ■

Having considered the Committee’s report and the comments received by the Committee, we amend the standard jury instructions as proposed by the Committee and authorize them for- publication and use. We also authorize new instruction 28.4(b), as proposed by the Committee, for publication and use. In so doing, we note with respect to instruction 28.4(b) that the issue raised by FACDL, that the misdemeanor hit-and-run statute underlying proposed instruction 28.4(b) imposes an affirmative duty on a driver to take certain actions, and therefore knowledge of involvement in an accident is implied, has not been expressly addressed by any court. Accordingly, we decline to use the instant proceedings authorizing the publication and use ..of..standard jury instructions as the basis for addressing such an issue. Such matters are appropriate for consideration by this Court only within the context of an actual case or controversy. See art. V, § 3(b), Fla. Const; In re Std. Jury Instr. in Crim. Cases —Report No. 2015 -05, - So.3d -, 41 Fla. L. Weekly S140 (Fla. Apr. 7, 2016).

The new and'amended criminal jury instructions, as set forth in the appendix to this opinion, are hereby authorized for publication and use. 1 New language is indicated by underlining, and deleted language is indicated by. struck-through type. In authorizing the publication and use of these instructions, we . express no opinion on their correctness 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 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 shall be effective when, this opinion becomes final,

It is so ordered.

Defense of inoperability; give if applicable.

It is a defense to the charge of Driving under the Influence if at the time of the alleged offense, the vehicle was inoperable. However, it is not a defense if the defendant was driving under the influence before the vehicle 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.

In 1992, a similar instruction was adopted for Florida Standard Jury Instructions In Criminal Cases. That instruction was amended in 1995 and 1998; both instructions were merged into a revised instruction in 2000, which was amended in 2009 [6 So.3d 574] and 2016.

It is a defense to the charge of Driving under the Influence if at the time of the alleged offense, the vehicle was inoperable.

Now that you have found the defendant guilty of Driving under the Influence, you must further determine whether the State has proven beyond a reasonable doubt whether:

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

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

Give if applicable, 316.193(12), Fla. Stat.

If the records of the Department of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles show that the defendant has been previously convicted of Driving under the Influence, you may conclude that the State has established that prior Driving under the Influence conviction. However, such evidence may be contradicted or rebuttéd by other evidence. Accordingly, this inference may be considered along with any other evidence in deciding whether the defendant has a prior Driving under the Influence conviction.

Comments

This instruction should be used for Felony Driving under the Influence based on prior convictions. For Felony Driving under the Influence based on prior convictions, it is error to inform the jury of prior Driving under the Influence/Boating under the Influence convictions until the verdict on the underlying Driving under the Influence is rendered. Therefore, if the information or indictment contains.an allegation of prior Driving under the Influence/Boating 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 Driving 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 So.2d 691 (Fla. 2000).

In other areas, however, where there is no issue that a person was killed as a result of an incident giving rise to criminal charges, non-death lessers are not appropriate. See, e.g., State v.

a. the defendant had a [blood] [breath]-alcohol level of .15 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 bBoating under the iln-fluence.

1, If you find from the evidence that while operating or in actual physical control of the vessel, the defendant had a [blood] [breathi-alco-hol 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 bé 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] [breathi-alco-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.

It is not necessary to instruct on the “prima facie evidence of impairment” in § 327.351(2)(c), Fla. Stat., if the State charged the defendant with boating with a blood or breath-alcohol level of .08 or over. In those cases, if the jury finds that the defendant operated a vessel with an unlawful blood or breath-alcohol level, impairment becomes moot . Tyner v. State, 805 So.2d 862 (Fla. 2d DCA 2001).

" Defense of inoperability; give if applicable.

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 boating under the influence before the vessel became inoperable.

When-appropHater-gwe- one or more-of the following instmetions-on-the presumptions of impairment established by Give if appropriate, § 327.354(2)(a)T and (2)(b), and (2-Xe)rFla. Stat.

1. If you find from the evidence that while operating or in actual physical control of the vessel, the defendant had a [blood] [breathi-alco-hol 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] [breathi-alco-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 *1217 of alcoholic beverages to the extent that [his] [her] normal faculties were impaired.

3, — If-you-find from the evidence-that while operating-or-m-actual-phygical control of-tho-vesselr-the- defendant had a [blood] [breath] alcohol-level- of-.08- or -more, that evidence would-be-sufficient by itself to establish that the defen-dantwas under the influence of alcoholic beverages-to-the extent that [his]. [her] normal faculties were impaired. — But this evidence may be contr-adicted-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 not necessary to instruct on the “prima, facie evidence of impairment” in § 327.354(2)(c), Fla. Stat., if the State charged the defendant with boating with a blood or breath-alcohol level of .08 or over. In those cases, if the jury finds that the defendant operated a vessel with an unlawful blood or breath-alcohol level, impairment becomes moot Tyner v. State, 805 So.2d 862 (Fla. 2d DCA 2001).

Defense of inoperability; give if-applicable.

It is a defense to the charge of Boating under the Influence Causing [Property Damage] [Injury] 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 boating under the influence before the vessel became inoperable.

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.

& — If you find from the evidence that while operating-or -in actual physical control of the vessel, the defendant had a [blood]-[breath] alcohol-Ievel 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 not necessary to instruct on the “prima facie evidence of impairment” in § 327J5I(2)(c), Fla. Stat„ if the State charged the defendant with boating with a blood or breath-alcohol level of .08 or over. In those cases, if the jury .finds that the defendant operated a vessel with an unlawful blood or breath-alcohol level, impairment becomes moot, Tyner v. State, 805 So.2d 862 (Fla. 2d DCA 2001).

Defense of inoperability; give if applicable.

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 boating under the influence before the vessel became inoperable.

Give as applicable, if the jury finds the defendant is guilty of Boating Under the Influence. Noté: A Driving Under the Influence conviction, whether in Florida or out-of-state, counts as a prior conviction. See § 827.35(6)(i), Fla. Stat. See State v. Harbaugh, 754 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 deféndant committed.

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

Comments

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 So.2d 691 (Fla. 2000).
