PER CURIAM. The Supreme Court Committee on Standard Jury Instructions in Criminal' Cases (Committee) has submitted a report proposing amendments to seven existing standard criminal jury instructions. We have jurisdiction. See art. V, § 2(a), Fla. Const.

The Committee proposes amending existing instructions 3.3(a) (Aggravation of a Felony by Carrying a Firearm); 3.3(b) (Aggravation of a Felony by Carrying a Weapon Other Than a Firearm); 3.3(f) (Aggravation of a Crime by Selecting a Victim Based on Prejudice); 3.6(c) (Psychotropic Medication); 8.18 (Violation of an Injunction for Protection Against Domestic Violence); 8.19 (Violation of an Injunction for Protection Against [Repeat] [Sexual] [Dating] Violence); and 8.24 (Violation of an Injunction for Protection Against [Stalking] [Cyberstalking]).

Before filing its report with the Court, the Committee published its proposals for comments. The Committee received comments from the Florida Association of Criminal Defense Lawyers, the Florida Public Defender Association, and Gerry Rose. The Committee altered several of its proposals upon consideration of the comments. The Court did not publish the Committee’s amended proposals for comment. Having considered the Committee’s report and the comments received by the Committee, we authorize for publication and use amended instructions 3.3(f), 3.6(c), 8.18, 8.19, and 8.24 as proposed.

We, however, decline to authorize amended instructions 3.3(

a) and 3.3(

b) at this time. Accordingly, the instructions, as set forth in the appendix to this opinion, are authorized for publication and use. 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. LABARGA, C.J., and PARIENTE, LEWIS, QUINCE, CANADY, POLSTON, and PERRY, JJ., concur. Appendix 3.3(
