Section 348-2-03 - NOTIFICATION

Within 21 days after a complaint has been pre-screened, notarized, filed, and assigned a case number, the Respondent, will be notified and provided with a copy of the complaint. The Complainant will be provided with a copy of the notification. The notice will advise the parties of time limits applicable to complaint processing under this chapter and of the procedural rights and obligations of the parties under the MHRA and this chapter; the complainant's right to commence a civil action in the Superior Court; and that it is unlawful to discriminate against any person because the person made a complaint or testified, assisted, or participated in an investigation, proceeding, or hearing under the Act. If the complaint alleges violation of the MHRA that relates to a disability, the medical/disability information may be redacted from the complaint sent with notification to the Respondent; once the Respondent provides a signed agreement to maintain information it learns through the Commission process as confidential, the Commission will upon request send an unredacted copy of the complaint to the Respondent.
