2021 Colorado Code|Title 13 - Courts and Court Procedure|Article 1 - General Provisions|Part 3 - Underfunded Courthouse Facilities|§ 13-1-301. Legislative Declaration

  The general assembly hereby finds that:   Providing access to state court facilities and ensuring the safety of employees and other users of state court facilities are fundamental components of ensuring access to justice for the people of the state of Colorado;    Recent years have seen numerous occasions in which courthouse repair, renovation, improvement, and expansion needs have become important priorities for judicial districts and the counties they serve;    In some cases these needs result from anticipated causes, such as expanding caseloads, the allocations of new judges to the district, or the aging of existing courtroom facilities and the attendant need to bring them up to current operational and safety standards;    In other cases the needs are driven by unexpected events, such as natural disasters, accidents, or the discovery of previously unknown threats to health and safety; and    While the responsibility for providing adequate courtrooms and other court facilities lies with county governments, the geographically, demographically, and economically diverse nature of our state affects the level of funding and services that each county can provide.       The general assembly, therefore, determines and declares that:   The creation of the underfunded courthouse facility cash fund commission and the underfunded courthouse facility cash fund is beneficial to and in the best interests of the people of the state of Colorado; and    The purpose of the commission and the fund is to provide supplemental funding for courthouse facility projects in the counties with the most limited financial resources.

2021 Colorado Code|Title 13 - Courts and Court Procedure|Article 1 - General Provisions|Part 4 - Protect Court Access|§ 13-1-401. Legislative Declaration

  The general assembly hereby finds and declares that:   Access to courts is a cornerstone of Colorado's republican form of government and is therefore a matter of statewide concern. Civil arrest of a person at a courthouse or on its environs, or while going to, attending, or coming from a court proceeding, threatens the values of public access and the core functions of courts and is considered an unreasonable and unlawful seizure whether undertaken by a local, state, or federal officer.    Courts have the affirmative obligation to assert their powers to ensure order and efficient functioning in their proceedings through exercising their contempt power and issuing writs in order to protect the dignity, independence, and integrity of proceedings;    There exists from English common law a privilege from civil arrest at a courthouse and on its environs, or while going to, attending, or coming from a court proceeding. The common law of England is “the rule of decision, and shall be considered as of full force until repealed by legislative authority” pursuant to section 2-4-211, and the common law privilege from civil arrest has not been legislatively repealed.    The general assembly has the power to protect Colorado's court proceedings in order to preserve Colorado's republican form of government and has previously codified the privilege from arrest in specific circumstances to protect the proper functioning of courts; and    This act clarifies Colorado law with respect to court access and judicial power to enforce the protection in order to ensure court access and to prevent interruption of the administration of justice, and clarifies that the protection extends to proceedings conducted under the authority of a court, including, but not limited to, probation and pretrial services.       Nothing in this part 4 narrows, or in any way lessens, any rights or protections from civil arrest at a courthouse or on its environs, or while going to, attending, or coming from a court proceeding, under common law, statute, the United States constitution, the state constitution, or the remedies available for violations of those rights or privileges.

 As used in this part 4, unless the context otherwise requires:    “Civil arrest” means an arrest that is solely or primarily in connection with a civil proceeding but does not include an arrest made in connection with a judge's contempt authority or other judicially issued process.    “Court” means a court of the state of Colorado or its counties or municipalities.    “Courthouse” means the entirety of a building in which a court is located including, but not limited to, a courtroom, hallway, restroom, or lobby.    “Court proceeding” means a proceeding conducted by a court or under the authority of a court, including, but not limited to:   Accessing a service or conducting business with a court;    A criminal proceeding;    A civil proceeding;    A grand jury proceeding;    A civil protection order proceeding;    An arbitration;    A deposition;    A pretrial services appointment; or    A probation services appointment.       “Environs” means the vicinity surrounding a courthouse, including, but not limited to, a sidewalk, driveway, entryway, green space, or parking area serving the courthouse.

  A person shall not be subject to civil arrest while the person is present at a courthouse or on its environs, or while going to, attending, or coming from a court proceeding.      A judge or magistrate may issue a writ of protection to prohibit a civil arrest pursuant to subsection (1) of this section. A judge or magistrate may incorporate the writ of protection in other regularly issued documents.    The protection described in subsection (1) of this section applies regardless of whether a writ of protection has been issued.       Nothing in this section precludes a criminal arrest or execution of a criminal arrest warrant issued by a judge or magistrate based on probable cause of a violation of criminal law.    An on-duty law enforcement officer who is not employed by or contracted with courthouse security, or participating in a court proceeding, shall present credentials and state the purpose of the officer's presence to any existing courthouse security, who shall maintain a record of the information.    The chief judge of any court may enter an order to ensure that arrests made while persons are present at a courthouse or on its environs, or while going to, attending, or coming from a court proceeding, comply with this section.
