is reasonable to do so, condition permission for a modification on the renter
agreeing to restore the interior of the premises to the condition that existed
before the modification, reasonable wear and tear excepted;
ii. A refusal to make reasonable accommodations in rules, policies, practices, or

such agencies not inconsistent with or beyond the provisions of this Chapter.
5. Administer the programs and activities relating to housing in a manner
affirmatively to further the policies of this Chapter.
SECTION 11: That Section 12.6-10 of the Jefferson Parish Code of Ordinances
is hereby offered as follows:
Section 12.6-10. Enforcement.
A. An aggrieved person claiming to have been injured by a discriminatory
housing practice, or who believes that he will be injured by a discriminatory
housing practice that is about to occur, may file a complaint with the attorney
general. The civil rights section may also file a complaint on behalf of any
person. On receipt of the complaint, the attorney general shall:
1. Give the aggrieved person notice that the complaint has been filed and advise
the aggrieved person of the time limits and choice of forums under this Chapter.
2. Not later than ten days after the filing of the complaint, serve the respondent a
notice identifying the alleged discriminatory housing practice and advising the
respondent of the procedural rights and obligations of a respondent under this
Chapter, together with a copy of the original complaint.
B. A complaint pursuant to Subsection A of this Section shall be filed not later
than one year after the alleged discriminatory housing practice occurs. A
complaint shall be in writing and shall state the facts on which the allegations of
a discriminatory housing practice are based. The complaint shall contain any
other information and be in the form that the attorney general requires. The
complaint may be reasonably and fairly amended at any time. A respondent
may file an answer to the complaint against him not later than the tenth day after
receipt of the notice and copy pursuant to Paragraph A(2) and, with the consent
of the attorney general, which shall be granted if it would be reasonable and fair
to do so, may amend his answer at any time. The attorney general may require
both complaints and answers to be verified.
C. (1) Within ten days after the receipt of the respondents answer or, if no
answer is filed within the time prescribed in Subsection B, within five days
after the expiration of such time, the attorney general, or a certified agency,
if the complaint has been referred pursuant to this Subsection, must refer the
complaint to a mediation panel under this Subsection. If the parties agree to
a settlement through mediation, and the mediated settlement is in writing and
signed by both parties, the attorney general shall dismiss the complaint, if the
attorney general approves the agreement and finds it to be in the public interest.
(2) If the complaint has not been resolved through mediation within thirty days
after referral to the mediation panel, it must be returned to the attorney general
or certified agency for investigation, which shall commence immediately. If the
complaint is returned to the attorney general, he shall investigate the complaint
and may proceed to try to eliminate or correct the alleged discriminatory housing
practice by informal methods of conference, conciliation, and mediation. If
the attorney general determines after investigation that there is not reasonable
cause to believe that the complaint is true, he shall enter an order dismissing the
complaint and shall notify the complainant and the respondent of his action. If
the attorney general determines after investigation that there is reasonable
cause to believe that the complaint is true, he shall enter an order containing his
findings of fact and shall endeavor to eliminate the alleged unlawful housing
practice by informal methods of conference, conciliation, and persuasion.
(3) Nothing said or done in the course of these informal endeavors may be made
public, provided that if a civil action resulting from a complaint is commenced
in any federal or state court, evidence collected by or submitted to the attorney
general during investigation of the complaint and the source of the evidence are
discoverable by the parties to the civil action in accordance with applicable rules
of evidence, procedure, and discovery.
D. (1) If a complaint alleges a discriminatory housing practice within the
jurisdiction of a local public agency which has been certified by the attorney
general under this Subsection, and the local public agency has entered into an
intergovernmental agreement pursuant to Section 12.6-9, the attorney general
may refer the complaint to that certified agency before taking any action with
respect to the complaint. The attorney general shall take no further action with
respect to the complaint unless the certified agency has not acted in a timely
fashion after the date the complaint was received or unless the attorney general
determines that the certified agency no longer qualifies for certification under
this Subsection under the circumstance of a particular case, or the rights of the
parties or interest of justice requires this action.
(2) In order to determine that the substantive rights protected by the agency,
the procedures followed by the agency, the remedies available to the agency,
and the availability of judicial review of the agencys action are substantially
equivalent to those established by this Chapter and qualify the agency for this
certification, the attorney general shall take into account the current practices
and past performance, if any, of the agency.
E. All conciliation agreements shall provide that the complainant waives,
releases, and covenants not to sue the respondent or claim against the respondent
in any forum with respect to the matters which were alleged as complaints
filed with the attorney general, subject to performance by the respondent of
the promises and representations contained in the conciliation agreement. All
conciliation agreements shall be in writing and agreed to by the complainant, the
respondent, and the attorney general or his designee.
F. The attorney general shall complete the investigation of an alleged
discriminatory housing practice within one hundred days after the filing of
the complaint or, when the attorney general takes further action pursuant to
Subsection D, within one hundred days after the commencement of such further
