Proceedings after complaint

Official statutory text

A. A person claiming to be aggrieved by a discriminatory

practice, his or her attorney, or a nonprofit organization chartered

for the purpose of combatting discrimination may file with the

Attorney General's Office of Civil Rights Enforcement a written

sworn complaint stating that a discriminatory practice has been

committed, and setting forth the facts upon which the complaint is

based, and setting forth facts sufficient to enable the Attorney

General to identify the person charged, hereinafter called the

respondent. The Attorney General shall promptly furnish the

respondent with a copy of the complaint and shall promptly

investigate the allegations of discriminatory practice set forth in

the complaint. The complaint must be filed within one hundred

eighty (180) days after the alleged discriminatory practice occurs.

B. If within sixty (60) days after the complaint is filed it is

determined by the Attorney General that there is no reasonable cause

to believe that the respondent has engaged in a discriminatory

practice, the Attorney General shall issue an order dismissing the

the respondent and such other public officers and persons as the

Attorney General deems proper.

C. The complainant, within thirty (30) days after receiving a

copy of an order dismissing the complaint, may file with the

Attorney General an application for reconsideration of the order.

Upon such application, the Attorney General shall make a new

determination whether there is a reasonable cause to believe that

the respondent has engaged in a discriminatory practice. If it is

determined within thirty (30) days after the application is filed

that there is no reasonable cause to believe that the respondent has

engaged in a discriminatory practice, the Attorney General shall

issue an order dismissing the complaint and furnish a copy of the

order to the complainant, the respondent and such other public

officers as the Attorney General deems proper.

1. Allow for electronic submission of the complaint form;

2. Make a good-faith effort to contact the complainant if the

complaint form is deemed insufficient or incomplete; and

3. Provide the two access numbers to the Office of Civil Rights

Enforcement for persons who need assistance in completing or filing

the complaint form.

aggrieved by a discriminatory housing practice to the extent that it

this title relating to a discriminatory housing complaint.
