A complainant has filed a fair housing discrimination complaint with the Kansas Human Rights Commission (KHRC). As the KHRC processes the complaint, several procedural steps may occur. Which of the following is NOT a recognized step in the KHRC's fair housing complaint enforcement process under Kansas law?

Correct Answer

C) Referring the complaint directly to a federal district court without investigation

Under the Kansas Act Against Discrimination (K.S.A. 44-1001 et seq.) and the Kansas Fair Housing Act (K.S.A. 44-1015 et seq.), the KHRC does NOT directly refer complaints to federal district court without first conducting its own investigation. The KHRC follows its own state administrative process: it investigates the complaint, attempts conciliation, and issues a finding of probable cause or no probable cause. A complainant may separately choose to pursue a federal complaint through HUD or file in federal court, but the KHRC itself does not bypass its investigation by making a direct federal court referral.

Answer Options
A
Attempting conciliation or settlement between the parties
B
Conducting an investigation into the alleged discriminatory act
C
Referring the complaint directly to a federal district court without investigation
D
Issuing a finding of probable cause or no probable cause after investigation
