boards or agencies under the authority of the governor, the functions, duties,
and powers with respect to mediating, investigating, conciliating, hearing,

who shall serve at his pleasure. The members of the panel shall be employees of

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

action, unless it is impracticable to do so.


G. If the attorney general is unable to complete the investigation within the time
period set forth in Subsection F, the attorney general shall notify the parties in
writing of the reasons for not doing so.

Section 12.6-11. Right to examine and copy evidence; summoning witnesses and
documents and taking testimony; right to counsel; court aid; service and return;
fees of witnesses.
A. In conducting an investigation, the section or its duly authorized employees
shall have access at all reasonable times to premises, records, documents,
individuals, and other evidence or possible sources of evidence and may
examine, record, and copy such materials and take and record the testimony or
statements of such persons as are reasonably necessary for the furtherance of the
investigation. The section may issue interrogatories to a respondent to the same
extent and subject to the same limitations as would apply if the interrogatories
were issued or served in aid of a civil action in the state district courts for the
district in which the investigation is taking place.
B. The section, on its own initiative, or on application of any party to the
proceeding, may issue subpoenas compelling the attendance and testimony
of witnesses or requiring the production of documents for examination or
copying. Within five days after the service of a subpoena on any person, the
person may petition the section to revoke, limit, or modify the subpoena. The
section shall revoke, limit, or modify the subpoena if in its opinion the evidence
required does not relate to unlawful practices covered by this Chapter, is not
relevant to the complaint which is the subject matter of the investigation, does
not describe with sufficient particularity the evidence that is subpoenaed,
is unduly burdensome or oppressive, or for other good reason. Any member
of the section or any agent designated by the section may administer oaths or
affirmations, examine witnesses, and receive the evidence.
C. Witnesses summoned by subpoena of the section shall be entitled to the
same witness and mileage fees as are witnesses in proceedings in state district
courts. Fees payable to a witness summoned by a subpoena issued at the request
of a party shall be paid by that party.
D. In case of contumacy or refusal to obey a subpoena, the section or other
person at whose request it was issued may petition for its enforcement in the
state district court for the district in which the person to whom the subpoena was
addressed resides, was served, or transacts business.
E. Any person appearing before the section may be represented by counsel.
F. The district court, on application by the section or by the person subpoenaed,
has jurisdiction to issue an order revoking, limiting, or modifying the subpoena
or conditioning issuance of the subpoena on payment of costs or expenses
incurred to comply with the subpoena, if in the courts opinion the evidence
required does not relate to unlawful practices covered by this Chapter, is not
relevant to the complaint which is the subject matter of the investigation, does
not describe with sufficient particularity the evidence that is subpoenaed, is
unduly burdensome or oppressive, or for other good reason.
G. Complaints, orders, and other process and papers of the section or the agent of
the section may be served either personally or by certified mail or by commercial
courier as defined in La. R.S. 13:3204(D), when the person to be served is
located outside of this state. The verified return by the individual serving the
complaints, orders, process, or papers, setting forth the manner of the service,
is proof of service. The return post office receipt, if certified and mailed as
provided in this Subsection, is proof of service.
SECTION 13: That Section 12.6-12 of the Jefferson Parish Code of Ordinances

A. If no complaint has been filed with the attorney general pursuant to Section

of the rights granted pursuant to this Chapter in an appropriate state court of
general jurisdiction within two years after the alleged discriminatory housing
practice occurred.
B. An action to obtain relief arising from a breach of conciliation agreement
entered into pursuant to this Chapter may be commenced in an appropriate state
court of general jurisdiction within one year after the alleged breach.
C. If a complaint filed with the attorney general pursuant to Section 12.6-10
is dismissed by the attorney general, or if within the time period set forth in
Section 12.6-10 the attorney general has not:
1. Filed a civil action under Section 12.6-13,
2. Entered into a conciliation agreement with the complainant and respondent,
the attorney general shall notify the complainant or the party on whose behalf
the complaint was filed. In no event, including the failure of the attorney general
to issue the notification required herein, shall any action be brought pursuant
to this Chapter more than two years after the alleged discriminatory housing
practice occurred. On timely application, the court, in its discretion, may permit
the attorney general to intervene in civil actions in which this state is not a
defendant on certification that the case is of general public importance. On
request, the court, in its discretion, may stay further proceedings for not more
than sixty days pending the further efforts of the parties or the attorney general
to obtain voluntary compliance.
B. Upon application by the plaintiff and in such circumstances as the court
may deem just, a district court in which a civil action under this Section has
been brought may appoint an attorney for the plaintiff and may authorize the
commencement of a civil action upon proper showing without the payment of
fees, costs, or security, to the extent not inconsistent with the law or procedures
of this state.
C. The court may grant as relief, as it deems appropriate, any permanent or
temporary injunction, temporary restraining order, or other order and may
award to a prevailing plaintiff actual damages and punitive damages, together
with court costs and reasonable attorney fees.
D. Any sale, encumbrance, or rental consummated prior to the issuance of
any court order issued pursuant to the authority provided in this Chapter and
involving a bona fide purchaser, encumbrancer, or tenant without actual notice
of the existence of the filing of a complaint or civil action under the provisions of
this Chapter shall not be affected.
E. Nothing in this Chapter shall impair any right to sue or cause of action
arising under 42 United States Code, Sections 3610, 3612, and 3613, except, if
applicable, on agreement between the parties.
F. If a party elects to proceed on a claim in a federal court, he shall be precluded
from filing the same claim in an appropriate court of this state.
G. The court may grant as relief, as it deems appropriate, court costs and
reasonable attorney fees to a prevailing defendant, consistent with federal civil
rights statutes.
SECTION 14: That Section 12.6-13 of the Jefferson Parish Code of Ordinances
is hereby offered as follows:
Section 12.6-13. Enforcement by attorney general.
A. If, after investigation of a complaint filed pursuant to Section 12.6-10, the
attorney general finds reasonable cause to believe that any person or group
of persons is engaged in resistance to the full enjoyment of any of the rights
granted pursuant to this Chapter or that any person or group of persons has been
denied any of the rights granted pursuant to this Chapter, and the complainant,
the respondent, and the attorney general have not entered into a conciliation
agreement, he shall bring a civil action in any appropriate state district court
requesting relief, including an application for a permanent or temporary
injunction, restraining order, or other order against the person or persons
responsible for the resistance or denial of rights.
B. In any civil action pursuant to Subsection A of this Section, the court may
grant as relief, as it deems appropriate, any permanent or temporary injunction,
temporary restraining order, or other order and may award actual damages and
punitive damages to any person found to have been denied any of the rights
granted pursuant to this Chapter.
C. If the attorney general concludes at any time following the filing of a complaint
that a discriminatory housing practice has occurred or is about to occur, he shall
promptly commence and maintain a civil action for appropriate temporary or
preliminary relief pending final disposition of the complaint.
