CO SB060

Creates new section 18-1-1001.5 allowing courts to order wireless telephone service providers to transfer phone numbers from defendants to alleged victims or witnesses in domestic violence and certain criminal cases, with victim proving by preponderance of evidence they are primary users.

Adds animal protection provisions to criminal protective orders, allowing courts to prohibit defendants from taking, transferring, concealing, harming, disposing of, or threatening to harm animals owned or possessed by alleged victims or witnesses.

Specifies that wireless telephone service providers must terminate the defendant's account access within five business days unless the account was already terminated or technical barriers prevent the transfer.

Grants wireless telephone service providers civil immunity for complying with transfer orders and allows them to apply routine account establishment requirements to victims or witnesses receiving transferred numbers.

Clarifies that criminal protective orders do not preclude issuance of separate civil protective orders, and bars courts from denying civil protection order relief based solely on prior issuance of a criminal protective order.
