Judge Lisa T. Munyon, Chair, Supreme Court Committee on Standard Jury Instructions in Criminal Cases, Ninth Judicial Circuit, Orlando, FL, for Petitioner.

PER CURIAM.

The Supreme Court Committee on Standard Jury Instructions in Criminal Cases (Committee) has submitted a report seeking amendments to a number of standard criminal jury instructions pertaining to prostitution and lewd or lascivious conduct. We have jurisdiction. *See*art. V, § 2(a), Fla. Const.

The Committee’s report1 is in response to the Court’s request that the Committee *42review the instructions on sexual offenses and consider “whether a uniform definition for ‘lewd and lascivious’ is needed and whether the term ‘sensual intent’ or ‘sensual intention’ should be included in that definition.” *In re Standard Jury Instructions in Criminal Cases*—Report *No. 2008-04,*995 So.2d 476, 477 n. 1 (Fla.2008) (amendments to instructions on sexual battery and prostitution); *see also In re Standard Jury Instructions in Criminal Cases*—Report *No. 2008-02,*998 So.2d 1138, 1139 n. 2 (Fla.2008) (amendments to instructions on lewd and lascivious molestation, conduct, and exhibition). The Committee’s proposals include the following: amending the definition of “lascivious” in instructions 11.8 and 11.9; adding the definition of “lewd and lascivious” to instruction 11.11; correcting instruction 23.2 to include the definition for “lewdness” previously authorized by the Court but inadvertently published as struck-through, *see In re Standard Jury Instructions in Criminal Cases—*Report *No. 2008-04,*995 So.2d at 476 n. 1, 483; and adding the definition of “procure” to instruction 23.6.2

The Committee published its proposals in the February 1, 2010, edition of *The Florida Bar News.*No comments were received. Having considered the Committee’s report, we hereby authorize the publication and use of the instructions as they appear in the attached appendix.3 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.

It is so ordered.

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