      (5)  Before a defendant is released on bail pursuant to article 4 of title 16,

      defined in section 16-22-102 (9), C.R.S., the prosecuting attorney may
      request a hearing before the court to modify the terms of a protection order
      issued pursuant to this section. Upon such a request, the court shall set a
      hearing and the prosecuting attorney shall send notice of the hearing to the
      defendant and the alleged victim. At the hearing the court shall review the
      terms of the protection order and any further orders entered and shall
      consider the modifications, if any, requested by the defendant or the
      prosecuting attorney.
      
           SECTION 3.  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.
