CO HB1187

Restrained parties seeking to modify or terminate a civil protection order must submit fingerprint-based criminal background checks from the Colorado Bureau of Investigation and FBI conducted within 90 days of filing

Restrained parties may file a motion for a protective order to limit access to their submitted documentation, citing Rule 121 (1-5)(3) of Colorado Rules of Civil Procedure

Protected parties have 21 days to respond to the protective order motion; restrained parties then have 7 days to reply to that response

Courts may limit documentation access to case parties only or prohibit use in other matters if privacy harm outweighs public interest in access

All submitted documentation must be suppressed in court records until the court rules on who may access it
