pursuant to section 315.3 or the entry of an order of disposition

pursuant to section 352.2, a court may enter an order of protection

against any respondent for good cause shown. The order may require that

the respondent: (a) stay away from the home, school, business or place

of employment of the victims of the alleged offense; or (b) refrain from

harassing, intimidating, threatening or otherwise interfering with the

victim or victims of the alleged offense and such members of the family

or household of such victim or victims as shall be specifically named by

the court in such order; or (c) refrain from intentionally injuring or

killing, without justification, any companion animal the respondent

knows to be owned, possessed, leased, kept or held by the person

protected by the order or a minor child residing in such person's

household; or (d) refrain from remotely controlling any connected

devices affecting the home, vehicle or property of the person protected

by the order. "Companion animal", as used in this subdivision, shall

have the same meaning as in subdivision five of section three hundred

fifty of the agriculture and markets law. "Connected device", as used in

this subdivision, shall mean any device, or other physical object that

is capable of connecting to the internet, directly or indirectly, and

that is assigned an internet protocol address or bluetooth address.

(1-a) Upon the issuance of an order pursuant to section 315.3 or the

entry of an order of disposition pursuant to section 352.2, a court may,

for good cause shown, enter an order of protection against any

respondent requiring that the respondent refrain from engaging in

conduct, against any designated witness specifically named by the court

in such order, that would constitute intimidation of a witness pursuant

to section 215.15, 215.16 or 215.17 of the penal law or an attempt

thereof, provided that the court makes a finding that the respondent did

previously, or is likely to in the future, intimidate or attempt to

intimidate such witness in such manner.

(2) An order of protection shall remain in effect for the period

specified by the court, but shall not exceed the period of time

specified in any order of disposition or order adjourning a proceeding

in contemplation of dismissal.
