      BY REPRESENTATIVE(S) McCann, Brown, Labuda, Todd, Court,
      Fields, Schafer S., Wilson;

      Concerning an expansion of the circumstances in which a court
           may order further restrictions as conditions of a
           protection order against a defendant.
       
      
      Be it enacted by the General Assembly of the State of Colorado:
      
           SECTION 1.  The introductory portion to 18-1-1001 (3) and
      18-1-1001 (3) (a), (3) (b), and (3) (e), Colorado Revised Statutes, are
      amended to read:
      
           18-1-1001.  Protection order against defendant.  (3)  Nothing in
      this section shall preclude the defendant from applying to the court at any
      time for modification or dismissal of the protection order issued pursuant
      to this section or the district attorney from applying to the court at any time
      for further orders, additional provisions under the protection order, or
      modification or dismissal of the same.  The trial court shall retain
      jurisdiction to enforce, modify, or dismiss the protection order until final
      disposition of the action.  Upon motion of the district attorney or on the
      court's own motion to protect for the protection of the alleged victim
      or witness, the court may, in cases involving domestic violence as defined
      in section 18-6-800.3 (1) and cases involving crimes listed in section
      24-4.1-302, C.R.S., except those listed in paragraphs (cc.5) and (cc.6)
      of subsection (1) of that section, enter any of the following further
      orders against the defendant:
      
           (a)  An order to vacate or stay away from the home of the alleged
      victim or witness and to stay away from any other location where the
      victim or witness is likely to be found;
      
           (b)  An order to refrain from contact or direct or indirect
      communication with the alleged victim or witness;
      
           (e)  Any other order the court deems appropriate to protect the safety
      of the alleged victim or witness.
      
           SECTION 2.  Safety clause.  The general assembly hereby finds,
      determines, and declares that this act is necessary for the immediate
      preservation of the public peace, health, and safety.
