Committee later submitted a revised proposal in response to comments. While we generally approve the Committee's revisions, the revised proposal would have allowed
twenty days[ ratherthan ten, to serve a reply brief. In order to maintain consistency with otherprovisions in rule 9.146(g)(3)(B), we haverevised the Committee's proposal such
that parties are allowed twenty days to respond after the last initial brief, and ten days
to respond after the last answer brief.

Standardjury instructions—Criminal—Amendment
IN RE: STANDARD JURY INSTRUCTIONS IN CRIMINALCASES—REPORT
2018-02. Sppreme Court ofFlorida. Case No. SC18-513. October 25,2018. Original
Proceeding—Supreme Court Committee on Standard Jury Instructions in Criminal
Cases. Cou'nsel: Judge F. Rand Wallis, Chair, Supreme Court Committee on Standard Jury Instructions in Criminal Cases, Daytona Beach; and Bart Schneider, StaffLiaison,
Office ofthe State Courts Administrator, Tallahassee, for Petitioner.
(PER CURIAM.) The Supreme Court Committee on Standard Jury
Instructions in Criminal Cases (Committee) has submitted proposed
changes jto the standard jury instructions and asks that the Court authorize the amended standard instructions for publication and use.
We havejjurisdiction. See art. V, § 2(a), Fla. Const. The Committee proposes amending the following existing
instructions: 2.1(d) (Insanity—Psychotropic Medication); 3.5(c) (Accessory After theFact);and 14.1 (Theft). In addition, the Commit
tee proposes new instructions 21.17 (Compounding a Felony) and 29.5 ([Disorderly Conduct] [Breach of the Peace]). The Committee
published the proposed amendments in The Florida Bar News, and
received onecommentfrom the Florida Public DefenderAssociation,
Inc., concerning new instructions 21.17 and 29.5. The Committee
altered its proposal for new instruction 29.5 upon consideration ofthe
comment. The Court did not publish the proposals after they were
filed. We hereby authorize the amended and new instructions for
publicatian and use as set forth in the appendix to this opinion. The
more sigi dficant amendments to the instructions are discussed below.
First, instruction 2. l(d) (Insanity—Psychotropic Medication), the
pretrial instruction that is givenwhena defendant' s ability to proceed
to trial is dependent on the use of psychotropic medication, is
modified to mirror the language in its corresponding final charge
instruction, 3.6(c) (Psychotropic Medication). Theword "Insanity" is
deleted from the title because instruction 2.1(d) does not address
insanity and the word "Insanity" was recently deleted from the title of
instruction 3.6(c). See In re Std. Jury Instr. in Crim. Cases—Report
No. 2016-04, 206 So. 3d 14, 16 (Fla. 2016). Additionally, the
italicized note at the beginning of instruction 2.1(d) is revised for
uniformity with the italicized note at the beginning of instruction
3.6(c). Anew final paragraph is also added to the instruction inform
ing the jurors that they should not allow the defendant's present
condition in court or any apparent side effect from the psychotropic
medication that maybe observed in court to affect their deliberations.
Next, instruction 3.5(c) (Accessory After the Fact) is renumbered
to 21.18, so that it falls under chapter 21, which contains instructions
for specific crimes involving "Obstruction of Justice," rather than
under chapter 3, which contains instructions for "Final Charge to
Jury," because accessory after the fact is a specific crime. Addition
ally, an italicized note referencing section 777.03(l)(b), Florida
Statutes (2018), is relocated to the comment section, resulting in anew
paragraph. Thenew paragraph addresses considerations that the court
may need to take into account if the felony alleged is child abuse,
neglect of a child, aggravated child abuse, aggravated manslaughter
ofachild under 18yearsofage, or murder ofa childunder 18yearsof
age.
Next, instruction 14.1 (Theft) is updated, based in part upon this
Court'sopinioninDMZ?o.j£v. State, 210 So. 3d 641 (Fla. 2017), to add
within the definition of "dwelling" that an enclosure around a
curtilage need not be continuous as it may have an ungated opening
for entering and exiting. The definition of "motor vehicle" found in
section 320.01 (l)(a), Florida Statutes (2018), is also added to the
instruction. Further, a newparagraph is added to the comment section
stating that a special instruction will berequired ifthe defendant found
lost or abandoned property and failed to report the description and
location to a law enforcement officer, or unlawfully appropriated the
lost or abandoned property, citing section 705.102, Florida Statutes
(2018).
New instruction 21.17 (Compounding aFelony) instructs upon the
crime ofcompounding a felony, as enacted in section 843.14, Florida
Statutes (2018). Instruction 21.17 sets forth the elements ofthe crime
that the State must provebeyond a reasonable doubt, and provides that
the court should define the felony alleged. Additionally, a paragraph
is added to the comment section that states "§ 843.14, Fla. Stat. links
the degree ofthe felony that was concealed to the degree ofthe crime
that the defendant committed." Theparagraph also states, "Although
there is no caselaw directly on point, the Committee on Standard Jury
Instructions in Criminal Cases relied on the logic in Bowen v. State,
791 So. 2d 44 (Fla. 2d DCA 2001) to conclude that the State must
specify the felony that the defendant knew about and concealed."
The existing and new criminaljury instructions, as set forth in the
appendix to this opinion, are hereby authorized for publication and
use.' New language is indicated by underlining and deleted language is indicated by struck-through type. In authorizing thepublication 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 ofthe views ofthis Court as to their correctness or applica
bility. The instructions as set forth in the appendix shall be effective
when this opinion becomes final.
It is so ordered. (CANADY, C.J., and PARIENTE, LEWIS,
QUINCE, POLSTON, LABARGA, and LAWSON, JJ., concur.)
