Title 6 . Governor's Office
Chapter 30 . Rules Governing Practice and Procedure Before the State Commission for Human Rights
Section 340. Conciliation procedures

6 AAC 30.340. Conciliation procedures

(a) The commission's staff will provide the parties with proposed terms of conciliation along with the determination that a complaint is supported by substantial evidence. The commission's staff will propose remedies for each issue and individual identified in the determination.

(b) If the commission's staff negotiates conciliation terms which provide a remedy for a person who is not named in the complaint but identified in the determination, the commission's staff will invite the person identified to accept or reject the remedy.

(c) The commission's staff or either party shall direct to the class identified in the findings the best notice practicable to those class members who can be identified through reasonable effort.

(d) Conciliation by the commission will not prevent an individual who has not filed a complaint from seeking relief outside of the conciliation agreement.

(e) The executive director will determine when conciliation efforts are unsuccessful and will inform the commission's chairperson in writing.

(f) The executive director will determine that conciliation efforts have failed if, within 30 days after service of the conciliation agreement proposed by the commission's staff unless the staff grants an extension of time not in excess of an additional 30 days for good cause shown,

(1) the respondent fails to timely discuss conciliation with the commission's staff; or

(2) the commission's staff and the parties do not resolve the issues alleged in the complaint.

(g) The commission's staff will close a case when the complainant refuses to accept conciliation terms offered by the respondent which the commission's staff believes are reasonable. Closure for this reason will not prevent a complainant from seeking a remedy in other forums.

(h) The commission's staff will attempt conciliation on behalf of a class of persons identified through investigation as described in 6 AAC 30.330(b) even if the individual complainant fails to participate in or cooperate with conciliation efforts. Complainant's refusal to cooperate will not prevent a settlement on behalf of the class members or result in a determination that conciliation efforts on behalf of the class are unsuccessful.
