   (a) Either the petitioner or the respondent may request modification of a protective order. If a request is made for modification of

   (c) If the court modifies a protective order under this section, it shall issue a modified order and shall
        (1) make reasonable efforts to ensure that the order is understood by the petitioner and by the respondent, if present at the hearing; and
        (2) have the order delivered to the appropriate local law enforcement agency for expedited service and for entry into the central registry of protective orders under AS 18.65.540.
