Section 10008 - Priority Intake
(a) A person who seeks to file a complaint for investigation whose statute of limitations would run in thirty (30) days or less, or who seeks to file a complaint for investigation alleging a violation of the Ralph Civil Rights Act, or a person who is terminally ill, may be given priority for the purpose of scheduling an intake interview.
(b) The department may file a complaint for investigation without first obtaining the complainant's verification of the complaint, when doing so is necessary to avoid missing the statute of limitations for filing with the department. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the department shall obtain a verification of a complaint for investigation before the complaint is served.
(c) A person who seeks to file a complaint for investigation with the department that alleges retaliation occurring within one-hundred-eighty (180) days of the person's filing a prior complaint of discrimination with the department, or within one-hundred-eighty (180) days of that person's participation in an investigation conducted by the department, may be given priority.
(d) Any other person whose situation warrants a priority intake in the department's discretion may be given priority for the purpose of scheduling an intake appointment.
