    No. SC12-2594.
    Supreme Court of Florida.
    Nov. 21, 2013.
    Honorable Joseph A. Bulone, Chair, Clearwater, FL, and Honorable Jacqueline Hogan Scola, Past Chair, Standard Jury Instructions in Criminal Cases Committee, Miami, FL, and Bart Schneider, Senior Attorney, Office of State Court Administrator, Tallahassee, FL, for Petitioner.
   PER CURIAM.

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 for publication and use. We have jurisdiction. See art. V, § 2(a), Fla. Const.

Following publication of its proposals in The Florida Bar News, the Committee filed its report with the Court on December 27, 2012. The Committee proposes amending the following jury instructions: 28.5 (Reckless Driving); 28.9 (No Valid Driver’s License); 28.9(a) (No Valid Commercial Driver’s License); 28.10 (Restricted License); 28.11 (Driving While License Suspended, Revoked or Canceled with Knowledge); 28.11(a) (Driving While License Revoked as a Habitual Traffic Offender); and 28.13 (Refusal to Submit to Testing). In addition, the Committee proposes the following new jury instructions: 29.20 (Abuse of an Elderly Person/a Disabled Adult); 29.21 (Aggravated Abuse of an Elderly Person/a Disabled Adult); 29.22 (Neglect of an Elderly Person/a Disabled Adult); 29.23 (Failure to Provide Required Documents While Working/Operating a Massage Establishment); 29.24 (Human Trafficking); and 29.25 (Human Trafficking by a Parent/Legal Guardian/Person with Control of a Minor). A comment was received by the Committee pertaining to the instructions for reckless driving and aggravated fleeing or eluding. Upon its review of the comment, the Committee declined to change its proposals.

Having considered the Committee’s report and the comment filed, we amend the standard jury instructions as discussed below, as proposed by the Committee except as noted otherwise, and authorize the amended jury instructions for publication and use.

Instruction 28.5 (Reckless Driving) is amended to take into account two separate offenses under section 316.192, Florida Statutes (2012). Subsection (l)(a) defines traditional reckless driving, while subsection (l)(b) defines a non-traditional form of the offense, as it provides that “[fjleeing a law enforcement officer in a motor vehicle is reckless driving per se.” § 316.192(l)(b), Fla. Stat. (2012). Accordingly, traditional and non-traditional reckless driving are set out as separate elements with an italicized instruction to give the appropriate element depending on what offense is charged. The definition of “vehicle” is amended to delete the reference to “bicycles” and “mopeds,” citing section 316.003(75), Florida Statutes (2012). In addition, definitions for “serious bodily injury,” “motor vehicle,” “fleeing a law enforcement officer,” and “highway” are included, as is a table of lesser-included offenses.

Instructions 28.9 (No Valid Driver’s License), 28.9(a) (No Valid Commercial Driver’s License), 28.11 (Driving While License Suspended, Revoked or Canceled with Knowledge), and 28.11(a) (Driving While License Revoked as a Habitual Traffic Offender) are each amended to correct statutory citations and to add the offense of attempt to the table of lesser-included offenses for each instruction.

Instruction 28.10 (Restricted License) is amended to correct the statutory citations to the definitions of “motor vehicle” and “highway.” In addition, a lesser-included offenses table is added to include the offense of attempt. Finally, a note in the Comment is added to provide as follows: “Under § 322.16(5), Fla. Stat., violation of a restriction imposed pursuant to § 322.16(l)(c) is a second-degree misdemeanor. Under § 322.16(6), a violation of a restriction imposed pursuant to another subsection is a moving violation. See Ch.2010-62, § 28, Laws of Fla.”

Instruction 28.13 (Refusal to Submit to Testing) is amended in four ways. First, the word “lawfully” is added to the element that the defendant was arrested for driving under the influence. Next, the term “swamp buggy” is added to the “motor vehicle” definition section. Next, a table of lesser-included offenses is added to include the offense of attempt. And finally, the Comment is amended to include the following: “Where the lawfulness of the arrest is at issue, a special instruction may be warranted.”

New jury instructions 29.20 (Abuse of an Elderly Person/a Disabled Adult); 29.22 (Neglect of an Elderly Person/a Disabled Adult); 29.23 (Failure to Provide Required Documents While Working/Operating a Massage Establishment); 29.24 (Human Trafficking); and 29.25 (Human Trafficking by a Parent/Legal Guardian/Person with Control of a Minor) are authorized as proposed. New jury instruction 29.21 (Aggravated Abuse of an Elderly Person/a Disabled Adult) is authorized as proposed with one exception: we revise the portion of the instruction pertaining to the definition of “maliciously” to provide as follows:

Give if element lcis charged.
“Maliciously” means wrongfully, intentionally, and without legal justification or excuse. Maliciousness may be established by circumstances from which one could conclude that a reasonable person would not have engaged in the damaging acts toward the victim for any valid reason and that the primary purpose of the acts was to cause the victim unjustifiable pain or injury.

In modifying the Committee’s proposal, the Court is mindful that while the Florida Legislature did not define “maliciously” in section 825.102, Florida Statutes (2012) (Abuse, aggravated abuse, and neglect of an elderly person or disabled adult; penalties), as it did in section 827.03, Florida Statutes (2012) défining Aggravated Child Abuse, the statutes otherwise mirror one another with respect to the elements establishing the respective offenses.

The new and amended instructions, as set forth in the appendix to this opinion, are authorized for publication and use. 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.

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

Give as applicable. See § 322.251(1), (2), and § 322M(2), (3), (k), Fla. Stat

Proof that there exists an entry in the records of the Department of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles showing that notice of the [suspension] [revocation] [cancellation] was given by personal delivery is proof that such notice was given.

If you find that the records of the Department of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles include a [judgment] [order] rendered by [a court] [an adjudicatory body] which contains a provision notifying (defendant) that [his][her] license had been [suspended], [revoked] [canceled], you are permitted to assume that (defendant) knew [his][her] license was [suspended] [revoked] [canceled].

Patterson v. State, 512 So.2d 1109 (Fla. 1st DCA 1987).

“Willfully” means knowingly, intentionally, and purposely.

Give if “culpable negligence" is charged, within element 3a.

I will now define what is meant by the term “culpable negligence”: Each of us has a duty to act reasonably toward others. If there is a violation of that duty, without any conscious intention to harm, that violation is negligence. But culpable negligence is more than a failure to use ordinary care for others. For negligence to be called culpable negligence, it must be gross and flagrant. The negligence must be committed with an utter disregard for the safety of others. Culpable negligence is consciously doing an act or following a course of conduct that the defendant must have known, or reasonably should have known, was likely to cause death or great bodily harm.

Give if element 3a is charged. § 825.102(3) (a), Fla. Stat.

Give if “neglect” is charged, within element 3b. § 825.102(3), Fla. Stat.

Neglect of [an elderly person] [a disabled adult] may be based on repeated conduct or on a single incident or omission that resulted in, or reasonably could have been expected to result in, serious physical or psychological injury, or a substantial risk of death, to [an elderly person] [a disabled adult].
