Section 30. Complaints by or on behalf of persons claiming to be aggrieved

A. A complaint on behalf of a person claiming to be aggrieved may be made by any person, agency, or organization; however, the complaint must be made in writing.

During the council's investigation, the director shall verify the complaint with the person on whose behalf the complaint is made. The council may reveal the identity of complainants to federal, state or local agencies that have agreed to keep such information confidential.

B. The complainant has the responsibility of providing the council with notice of any change in address and with notice of any prolonged absence from his current address.

C. A complaint shall be filed with the council not later than 180 days from the day upon which the alleged discriminatory practice occurred.
