(2) As used in this section, "peace officer or fireman FIREFIGHTER engaged in the performance of his OR HER duties" means a peace officer, as defined in section 18­1­901 (3) (l) (I) or (3) (l) (II), or a fireman FIREFIGHTER, as defined in section 18­3­201 (1), who is engaged or acting in, or who is present for the purpose of engaging or acting in, the performance of any duty, service, or function imposed, authorized, required, or permitted by law to be performed by a peace officer or fireman FIREFIGHTER, whether or not the peace officer or fireman FIREFIGHTER is within the territorial limits of his OR HER jurisdiction, if the peace officer or fireman FIREFIGHTER is in uniform or the person committing an assault upon or offense against or otherwise acting toward such peace officer or fireman FIREFIGHTER knows or reasonably should know that the victim is a peace officer or fireman FIREFIGHTER.
(3) A person convicted of first degree murder of a peace officer or fireman FIREFIGHTER shall be punished by life imprisonment without the possibility of parole for the rest of his or her natural life, unless a panel of judges imposes a death sentence pursuant to the procedure set forth in section 16­11­103, C.R.S.

In such circumstance, the court which previously sentenced a person to death shall cause such person to be brought before the court, and the court shall sentence such person to life imprisonment without the possibility of parole.
(5) The general assembly recognizes that protection of peace officers and firemen FIREFIGHTERS from crime is a major concern of our state because society depends on peace officers and firemen FIREFIGHTERS for protection against crime and other dangers and because peace officers and firemen FIREFIGHTERS are disproportionately damaged by crime because their duty to protect society often places them in dangerous circumstances. Society as a whole benefits from affording special protection to peace officers and firemen FIREFIGHTERS because such protection deters crimes against them and allows them to better serve and protect our state. The general assembly therefore finds that the penalties for first degree murder of a peace officer or fireman FIREFIGHTER should be more severe than the penalty for first degree murder of other members of society.

(1) Notwithstanding any law to the contrary, in any case where the owner of real property protests, as provided by law, the valuation of such real property for the purposes of property tax levied in 1988 for collection in 1989 and such valuation is corrected due to the fact that such valuation is found to be erroneous or otherwise improper on grounds other than any change or adjustment of any ratio of valuation for assessment for residential real property pursuant to the provisions of section 39­1­104.2, the assessor of the county in which such real property is located shall also correct such erroneous valuation for property tax year 1987 if such valuation was based upon the same or similar facts or conditions as the valuation for property tax year 1988.
(2) Except as otherwise provided in this subsection (2), the owner of real property upon which the valuation of such real property has been corrected pursuant to the provisions of subsection (1) of this section shall be entitled to a tax credit. Such property tax credit shall be in an amount equal to the difference between the amount of property tax calculated with the original 1987 valuation and the amount of property tax which would have been due based upon the corrected valuation using the existing 1987 mill levy for that property. Any owner of real property who stipulated in writing or on the record as having agreed to between the party and the county board of equalization the valuation of such real property for the property tax year 1987 to either the assessor, the county board of equalization, or the board of assessment appeals shall not be eligible for said tax credit.

Upon receipt of such notification, the treasurer shall adjust the amount of tax levied on such real property to reflect the amount of the property tax credit for such real property.

Such refunds shall be exempt from the provisions of section 39­2­116. Such taxes shall be adjusted in such a manner that the amount of any property tax credit given pursuant to the provisions of this section shall be divided proportionally among the appropriate taxing entities based upon the amount of tax levied by a taxing entity on such real property in proportion to the total amount of tax levied on such real property by such taxing entities. A taxing entity may adjust the amount of its tax levy authorized pursuant to the provisions of section 29­1­301, C.R.S., by an additional amount which does not exceed the proportional share of the total amount of property tax credits granted to taxpayers for incorrect valuations of real property pursuant to the provisions of this section. After calculating the amount of property tax revenues necessary to satisfy the requirements of the "Public School Finance Act of 1988", former article 53 of title 22, C.R.S., any school district shall add an amount equal to the proportional share of the total amount of property tax credits granted to taxpayers for incorrect valuations of real property pursuant to the provisions of this section prior to the setting of the mill levy for such school district. Where a final determination is made granting a property tax credit pursuant to the provisions of this section after the certification of tax levies, the property tax credit granted shall apply to property taxes levied in the year immediately following said final determination. Any additional amount added pursuant to the provisions of this subsection (3) shall not be included in the total amount of revenue levied in said year for purposes of computing the limit for the succeeding year pursuant to the provisions of section 29­1­301, C.R.S. For the purposes of this subsection (3), a taxing entity's proportional share of the total amount of property tax credits granted shall be based upon the amount of tax levied by a taxing entity on such real property in proportion to the total amount of tax levied on such real property by such taxing entities.
(4) The assessor shall give public notice in at least one issue of a newspaper published in his county that the owner of any real property may protest his valuation of such real property for the purposes of property tax levied in 1988 for collection in 1989 as provided by law, that, if such valuation is found to be erroneous and if such erroneous valuation was used for the purposes of property tax levied in 1987 for collection in 1988, the valuation shall be corrected for property tax year 1987, and that the owner of such real property is entitled to a property tax credit for property tax year 1988 for the amount of property tax incorrectly levied in property tax year 1987 due to such erroneous valuation.
