The Supreme Court Committee on Standard Jury Instructions in Criminal Cases (Committee) has submitted proposed changes to the standard criminal jury instructions. We have jurisdiction. See art. V, § 2(a), Fla. Const.
On December 22, 2010, the Committee filed its report proposing amendments to the standard criminal jury instructions.1 The majority of the Committee’s proposals derive from recommendations by Committee members based upon changes in statutory and decisional law.2
Having considered the Committee’s report, we hereby authorize the publication and use of the following instructions as proposed by the Committee: 3.8(a) — Evidence of Other Crimes, Wrongs, or Acts; 13.3 — Trespass in a Structure or Convey-*680anee; 16.4(a) — Contributing to Child Dependency, Person 21 or Older Impregnating Child Under 16; 24.6 — Prohibition of Certain Acts in Connection with Obscene Materials; Promoting or Performing; 28.14-28.17 — Boating Under the Influence; and 29.14 — Taking Deer/Wild Turkey with Gun and Light.
The Court also authorizes for publication and use instruction 2.13, Questions by Jurors, as proposed by the Committee but with the following modification.3 Instruction 2.13, in addition to the Committee’s proposed amendment, is further amended to include the following sentence: “If your question[s] is [are] not asked, you must not discuss it with other jurors or hold it against either party.” This modification to the Committee’s proposal is consistent with Florida Rule of Criminal Procedure 3.371, Juror Questions of Witnesses, which provides in pertinent part:
(b) Procedure. The trial judge shall utilize the following procedure if a juror indicates that the juror wishes to ask a question: ... (5) the jury must be advised that if a question submitted by a juror is not allowed for any reason, the juror must not discuss it with the other jurors and must not hold it against either party.
Fla. R.Crim. P. 3.371(b)(5).
Lastly, on the Court’s own motion, instruction 3.10, Rules for Deliberation, is amended to also include a paragraph to be given when a juror’s question was not asked of a witness.4
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. New language is indicated by underlining and deleted language is indicated by struck-through type. The instructions as set forth in the appendix shall be effective when this opinion becomes final.5
It is so ordered.

To prove the crime of (crime charged), the State must prove the following three elements beyond a reasonable doubt:
1. (Defendant) knowingly promoted, conducted, performed, or participated in an obscene, lewd, lascivious, or indecent show, exhibition, or performance by live persons or a live person before an audience.
2. The material charged in this case is obscene. In order for such material to be legally obscene, each of the following facts must be found:
a. The average person applying contemporary community standards of_County, Florida, would find that the material, taken as a whole, appeals to the prurient interest.
b. The material depicts or describes sexual conduct in a patently offensive way.
c. The material, taken as a whole, lacks serious literary, artistic, political, or scientific value.
8. The defendant had knowledge of the nature, character or content of the materials.
Definitions.
Prurient Interest
A “prurient interest” in-sex is — a shameful-or- morbid interest in sex, nudity, or excretion. — Material does not appeal to-a-prurient interest if the average person-today can-view the material candidly,-openly, and with a normal interest in sex.
Patently Offensive Obscene.
In order to be obscene, the dominant theme of the material must depict or describe sexual conduct in a patently offensive way, that is, it must do so in a way that offends the contemporary community standards of _ County. Not all descriptions or depictions of sexual conduct goes substantially beyond customary community standards of decency for it to be patently offensive. You must determine the collective view of the community in evaluating this element of the offense.
In order for you to find that this material is obscene, you must also find that, taken as a whole, it lacks serious literary, artistic, political, or scientific value. If the material has such value, it is not obscene even if it appeals to the prurient interest in sex, and even if it depicts or describes sexual conduct in a patently offensive way. In judging whether the value is serious, you should consider the intent of the material. If it is a serious literary or artistic effort, or if it attempts to convey scientific information, or a political point of view, it cannot be obscene. If the primary intent is to appeal to the prurient interest, then the mere insertion of literary, artistic, political, or scientific materials irrelevant to the predominant theme will not prevent you from determining that the material is obscene. Sex can be a legitimate subject for literature, art, scientific inquiry, or political argument, *690and such serious treatments of sex, even if appealing to the prurient interest and patently offensive, cannot be obscene.
Prurient Interest.
A “prurient interest” in sex is a shameful or morbid interest in sex, nudity, or excretion. Material does not appeal to a prurient interest if the average person today can view the material candidly, openly, and with a normal interest in sex.
Optional Definition.
“Morbid interest” means diseased, dwelling on the gruesome, or sick.

28.14 BOATING UNDER THE INFLUENCE
§ 327.35(1), Fla. Stat.
To prove the crime of Boating under the Influence, the State must prove the following two elements beyond a reasonable doubt:
1. (Defendant) operated a vessel.
2. While operating the vessel, (defendant)
Give 2a or b 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].
Give if applicable.
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 .2015 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.
Definitions. Give as applicable.
“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.
*691(_) is a controlled substance under Florida law. Ch. 893, Fla. Stat.
(_) is a chemical substance under Florida law. § 877.111(1), Fla. Stat.
When appropriate, give one or more of the following instructions on the “presumptions of impairment” established by § 327.35i(2)(a), (2)(b), and (2)(c), Fla. Stat.
1. 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.

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 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.

Comment
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).

Comment
This instruction was adopted in March 2000 and amended in 2011.
. The Committee proposes amendments to the following instructions: 2.13 — Questions by Jurors; 3.8(a) — Evidence of Other Crimes, Wrongs, or Acts; 6.6 — Attempted Voluntary Manslaughter; 13.3 — Trespass in a Structure or Conveyance; 13.4 — Trespass on Property Other than a Structure or Conveyance; 24.6 — Prohibition of Certain Acts in Connection with Obscene Materials; Promoting or Performing; 25.9-25.13 — Trafficking; 28.14-28.17 — Boating Under the Influence; and 29.14 — Taking Deer/Wild Turkey with Gun and Light. In addition, the Committee proposes three new jury instructions: 14.8 — Organized Fraud; 16.4(a) — -Contributing to Child Dependency, Person 21 or Older Impregnating Child Under 16; and 28.41 — Leaving the Scene of a Crash Involving Damage to an Attended Vehicle or Property.
. The Court published the Committee’s proposals in the February 15, 2011, edition of The Florida Bar News. Two comments were received, limited to the Committee's proposed amendments to the drug trafficking offenses and attempted manslaughter jury instructions. On May 24, 2011, the Court severed those proposals from the instant case, and set up a new case for the proposed amendments to the drug trafficking instructions and the attempted voluntary manslaughter instruction, which is currently pending before the Court (Case No. SCI 1-1010).
. The Court also modifies the Committee’s proposal to instruction 13.4, Trespass — On Property Other Than a Structure or Conveyance; the modifications are solely organizational.
. At this time we decline to authorize instruction 28.41, Leaving the Scene of a Crash Involving Damage to an Attended Vehicle or Property. By separate letter, that proposal will be referred back to the Committee for further study.
.The amendments as reflected in the appendix are to the Criminal Jury Instructions as they appear on the Court's website at www. floridasupremecourt.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.
