PER CURIAM.
The Supreme Court Committee on Standard Jury Instructions in Criminal Cases (Committee) has submitted a report proposing amendments to eight existing standard criminal jury instructions and the addition of one new instruction. We have jurisdiction. See art. V, § 2(a), Fla. Const.
The Committee proposes amending existing instructions 7.8—Driving Under the Influence Manslaughter; 7.8(a)—Boating Under the Influence Manslaughter; 11.1—Sexual Battery—Victim Less than 12 Years of Age; 11.2—Sexual Battery–Victim 12 Years of Age or Older—Great Force or Deadly Weapon; 11.3—Sexual Battery—Under Specified Circumstances; 11.4—Sexual Battery; 11.5—Solicitation of a Child to Engage in an Act that Constitutes Sexual Battery by Person in Familial or Custodial Authority; and 11.6—Engaging in an Act Which Constitutes Sexual Battery Upon or With a Child 12 Years of Age or Older but Younger than 18 Years of Age by Person in Familial or Custodial Authority. The Committee also proposes adding new instruction 11.6(a)—Engaging in an Act Which [Constituted Sexual Battery] [Injured the Sexual Organ of Another in an Attempt to Commit Sexual Battery] by a Person in Familial or Custodial Authority Upon a Person Less than 12 Years of Age.
Before filing its report with the Court, the Committee published its proposals for comment. Upon consideration of the comments received, and upon further review, the Committee modified some of its proposals. The Committee did not republish its proposals.
After the Committee filed its report, the Court published the Committee's proposals for comment. Comments were received from the Florida Association of Criminal Defense Lawyers and the Florida Public Defender Association. Having considered the Committee's report, the comments filed, and the Committee's response, we hereby authorize for publication and use new instruction 11.6(a) and amended instructions 7.8, 7.8(a), and 11.1–11.6 as proposed by the Committee.
The instructions, as set forth in the appendix to this opinion, are authorized for publication and use. 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.

7.8 DRIVING UNDER THE INFLUENCE MANSLAUGHTER
§§ 316.193(3)(a)(b)(c)3, 316.193(3)(a), (3)(b), and (3)(c)3., Fla. Stat.
To prove the crime of Driving under the Influence Manslaughter, the State must prove the following three elements beyond a reasonable doubt:
1. (Defendant) drove or was in actual physical control of a vehicle.
2. While driving or in actual physical control of the vehicle, (defendant)
Give 2a or 2b or both as applicable.
a. was under the influence of [alcoholic beverages] [a chemical substance] [a controlled substance] to the extent that [his] [her] normal faculties were impaired.
b. had a [blood] [breath]-alcohol level of .08 or more grams of alcohol per [100 milliliters of blood] [210 liters of breath].
3. As a result of operating the vehicle, (defendant) caused or contributed to the cause of the death of [ (victim) ] [an unbornquickchild].
Give if §§316.193(3)(a)(b)(c)3b316.193(3)(a), (3)(b), and (3)(c)3.b., Fla. Stat., is charged.
If you find the defendant guilty of Driving under the Influence Manslaughter, you must further determine whether the State proved beyond a reasonable doubt that:
4. (Defendant), at the time of the crash,
a. knew or should have known that the crash occurred and
b. failed to give information as required by law and
c. failed to render aid as required by law.
Florida law requires that the driver of any vehicle involved in a crash resulting in injury to or death of any person, or damage to any vehicle or other property which is driven or attended by any person, must supply [his] [her] name, address, and the registration number of the vehicle [he] [she] is driving to any person injured in the crash or to the driver or occupant of or person attending any vehicle or other property damaged in the crash. Upon request and if available, the driver shall also exhibit [his] [her] license or permit to drive.
The driver shall give the same information and, upon request, exhibit his or her license or permit, to any police officer who is at the scene of the crash or who is investigating the crash.
The driver shall also render reasonable assistance to any person injured in the crash, including carrying, or the making of arrangements for the carrying, of such person to a physician, surgeon, or hospital for medical or surgical treatment if it is apparent that treatment is necessary, or if such carrying is requested by the injured person.
In the event none of the persons specified above are in condition to receive the information to which they otherwise would be entitled, and no police officer is present, the driver of a vehicle involved in the crash, after trying to fulfill the requirements listed above as much as possible, shall immediately report the crash to the nearest office of a duly authorized police authority and supply the information specified above.
Give if applicable. (Offenses committed prior to October 1, 2008, alcohol level of .20 or higher.)
If you find the defendant guilty of Driving under the Influence Manslaughter, you must also determine whether
the State has proven beyond a reasonable doubt whether:
a. the defendant had a [blood] [breath]-alcohol level of .15 or higher while driving or in actual physical control of the vehicle.
b. the defendant was accompanied in the vehicle by a person under the age of 18 years at the time of the driving under the influence.
Definitions. Give as applicable.
“Vehicle” is every device in, upon, or by which any person or property is or may be transported or drawn upon a highway, except devices used exclusively upon stationary rails or tracks.
“Normal faculties” include but are not limited to the ability to see, hear, walk, talk, judge distances, drive an automobile, make judgments, act in emergencies and, in general, to normally perform the many mental and physical acts of our daily lives.
“Actual physical control of a vehicle” means the defendant must be physically in or on the vehicle and have the capability to operate the vehicle, regardless of whether [he] [she] is actually operating the vehicle at the time.
“Alcoholic beverages” are considered to be substances of any kind and description which contain alcohol.
§ 877.111(1), Fla. Stat.(__________) is a chemical substance under Florida law.
Chapter 893, Fla. Stat.
(__________) is a controlled substance under Florida law.
§ 775.021(5), Fla. Stat.An “unborn quick child” is a viable fetus means a member of the species Homo sapiens, at any stage of development, and who is carried in the womb. A fetus is viable when it becomes capable of meaningful life outside the womb through standard medical measures.
Give if applicable. § 775.021(5)(b), Fla. Stat.
Driving Under the Influence Manslaughter does not require the State to prove that the defendant knew or should have known that (victim) was pregnant or that the defendant intended to cause the death of the unborn child.
When appropriate, give one or more of the following instructions on the presumptions of impairment established by §§ 316.1934(2)(a), (2)(b), and (2)(c), Fla. Stat.
1. 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 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 driving or in actual physical control of a motor vehicle, the defendant had a blood or 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. 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 driving or in actual physical control of a motor vehicle, the defendant had a blood or 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.
Defense of inoperability; give if applicable.
It is a defense to the charge of Driving under the Influence Manslaughter 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.

The offenses in §§ 794.011(5)(a) -(5)(d), Fla. Stat., are included in any sexual battery offense charged under §§ 794.011(4)(a) -(4)(d), Fla. Stat., respectively, pursuant to §§ 794.011(6)(b) -(6)(e), Fla. Stat. ** It is unclear whether the “encouraging, forcing, or enticing any person less than 16 years of age to engage in ... any other act involving sexual activity” part of Lewd or Lascivious Battery in § 800.04(4)(a)2., Fla.

If so, the judge should instruct only on “sexual activity” and not on “sadomasochistic abuse, sexual bestiality, or prostitution,” unless those acts are included in the charging document. There are also sex-related crimes that could be Category 2 offenses depending on the charging document and the evidence. Element 3g: See s. §§ 943.10(1), (2), (3), (6), (7), (8), (9) , Fla. Stat ., for the definition of a law enforcement officer, correctional officer, or correctional probation officer who must be either certified pursuant to s. § 943.1395 , Fla. Stat ., or an elected officer exempt from certification pursuant to s. § 943.253 , Fla. Stat . If § 794.011(4)(d), Fla. Stat., is charged, this instruction can be used as a template with some amendments. Under that statute, the victim must be 12 years of age or older, the age of the defendant is irrelevant, and most of the alternatives regarding the prior conviction can probably be proven to the judge at a sentencing hearing. However, for an enhancement involving a prior conviction for a Kidnapping or False Imprisonment involving a minor, wherein the defendant committed a sexual battery or some enumerated lewd act upon the minor during the course of the kidnapping or false imprisonment, then Apprendi v. New Jersey, 530 U.S. 466, 120 S.Ct. 2348, 147 L.Ed.2d 435 (2000) is likely to require the jury to make certain findings regarding additional circumstances of the prior conviction.

If so, the judge should instruct only on “sexual activity” and not on “sadomasochistic abuse, sexual bestiality, or prostitution,” unless those acts are included in the charging document.1078 There are also sex-related crimes that could be Category 2 offenses depending on the charging document and the evidence. See Instruction 11.16 or 11.16(a) if the State charged that the defendant qualified as a Dangerous Sexual Felony Offender, pursuant to § 794.0115, Fla. Stat. In the event that multiple perpetrators is charged and proven, a special instruction is necessary. See § 794.023, Fla. Stat. The 2014 legislature added a sentencing multiplier to § 921.0024(1)(b), Fla. Stat., for sexual battery crimes involving a defendant 18 years of age or older and a victim younger than 18 years of age. If the State charges and intends to use this sentencing multiplier, a special instruction will be necessary for the jury to make an additional finding regarding the defendant's age. This instruction was adopted 1987 1221 and was amended in 1995 1152, 1997 84, 2008 476, and 2015 1037, and 2016. 11.6(a) ENGAGING IN AN ACT WHICH [CONSTITUTED SEXUAL BATTERY] [INJURED THE SEXUAL ORGAN OF ANOTHER IN AN ATTEMPT TO COMMIT SEXUAL BATTERY] BY A PERSON IN FAMILIAL OR CUSTODIAL AUTHORITY UPON A PERSON LESS THAN 12 YEARS OF AGE § 794.011(8)(c), Fla.

This instruction was adopted in 2016. -------- Notes: The Committee's proposals in this case were initially filed in In re: Standard Jury Instructions in Criminal Cases—Report No. 2015–01, Case No. SC15–368, along with the Committee's proposals to add new instruction 22.16 and amend existing instructions 20.3 through 20.12. By order dated March 17, 2015, we severed the proposals in this case from Case No. SC15–368 and directed that they be considered in a separate proceeding. Also, the Committee's proposals in this case initially included a proposal to add new instruction 1.5 (Questioning in Capital Trials (Death Penalty)). We granted the Committee's request to withdraw this proposal in light of the recent changes to Florida's death penalty sentencing scheme that have occurred as a result of the U.S. Supreme Court's decision in Hurst v. Florida, ––– U.S. ––––, 136 S.Ct. 616, 193 L.Ed.2d 504 (2016), and the enactment of chapter 2016–13, Laws of Florida. The amendments as reflected in the appendix are to the Criminal Jury Instructions as they appear on the Court's website at www.florida supremecourt.org/jury_instructions/instructions.shtml. We recognize that there may be minor discrepancies between the instructions as they appear on the website and the published versions of the instructions. Any discrepancies as to instructions authorized for publication and use after October 25, 2007, should be resolved by reference to the published opinion of this Court authorizing the instruction.
