    Jan. 10, 2008.
    Honorable O.H. Eaton, Jr., Chair, Criminal Court Steering Committee, Eighteenth Judicial Circuit, Sanford, Florida, for petitioner.
   PER CURIAM.

The Supreme Court Criminal Court Steering Committee (Committee) has filed a petition proposing amendments to Florida Rule of Criminal Procedure 3.992. We have jurisdiction. See art. V, § 2(a), Fla. Const.

The Court, on April 19, 2007, amended rules 3.704 and 3.992 to conform the rules to chapter 2007-2, section 5, Laws of Florida (amending § 921.0024(l)(b), Fla. Stat.). See In re Amendments to Florida Rules of Criminal Procedure — Rule 3.704, & Rule 3.992, 957 So.2d 1160 (Fla.2007). The Committee has now proposed amendments to the Criminal Punishment Code Score-sheets, rules 3.992(a) and 3.992(b), to provide greater clarity in the use of the score-sheets.

After considering the Committee’s proposals and reviewing the relevant legislation, we adopt the proposed amendments as modified. The amendments shall become effective immediately upon release of this opinion.

It is so ordered.

LEWIS, C.J., and WELLS, ANSTEAD, PARIENTE, QUINCE, CANTERO, and BELL, JJ., concur.
