§ 19-2.5-607. Mandatory protection order.
(1) (a) A mandatory protection order is created against any juvenile charged with the commission of a delinquent act and the juvenile's parents or legal guardian. The order remains in effect from the time that the juvenile is advised of the juvenile's rights and informed of the order at the juvenile's first appearance before the court until final disposition of the action or, in the case of an appeal, until disposition of the appeal. The order restrains the juvenile and the juvenile's parents or legal guardian from harassing, molesting, intimidating, retaliating against, or tampering with any witness to or victim of the delinquent act charged.
(b) The protection order issued pursuant to this section must be on a standardized form prescribed by the judicial department, and a copy must be provided to the protected parties.
(2) At the time of the juvenile's first appearance before the court, the court shall inform the juvenile and the juvenile's parents or legal guardian of the protection order effective pursuant to this section and shall also inform the juvenile and the juvenile's parents or legal guardian that a violation of such order is punishable as contempt of court.
(3) Nothing in this section precludes the juvenile or the juvenile's parents or legal guardian 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 additional provisions under the protection order, modification of the order, or dismissal of the order. The trial court shall retain jurisdiction to enforce, modify, or dismiss the protection order during the pendency of any appeal that may be brought.
(4) The duties of peace officers enforcing orders issued pursuant to this section are in accordance with section 18-6-803.5 and any rules adopted by the Colorado supreme court pursuant to said section.
