" Section 2. That § 25-10-40 be amended to read as follows:

25-10-40. No police officer or sheriff may release a person charged with assaulting a family or household member, as defined in subdivision 25-10-1(2), or violating a protection order, as provided for in this chapter, without providing notice to a committing magistrate judge or circuit court. A committing magistrate judge or circuit court shall determine if bond or other conditions of release are necessary for the protection of the alleged victim.

If the defendant is released without bond, a condition of no contact with the victim shall be stated and incorporated into the terms of the conditional release. Willful violation of any such no contact provision is a Class 1 misdemeanor. ".
