Fla. Admin. Code Ann. R. 60Y-7.005 - Conciliation
(1) If the
Commission decides to resolve the complaint, it shall endeavor to eliminate any
discriminatory housing practice by informal methods of conference, conciliation
and persuasion. Insofar as possible, conciliation meetings shall be held in the
city or other locality where the discriminatory housing practice allegedly
occurred.
(2) The Commission shall
attempt to achieve a just resolution of all violations found, and to obtain
agreement that the respondent will eliminate the discriminatory housing
practice and provide appropriate affirmative relief. Where such conciliation
attempts are successful, the terms of the conciliation agreement shall be
reduced to writing and signed by the complainant, the respondent and the
Executive Director or person designated by the Executive Director. The original
of the signed agreement shall be filed with the Clerk, and copies shall be
served upon the respondent and the complainant.
(3) A duly executed conciliation agreement
shall operate as a dismissal of the complaint; however, prior to the filing of
the conciliation agreement, the parties may stipulate therein to bringing the
agreement before a Panel of Commissioners. The Panel in its discretion may
adopt the conciliation agreement as a consent order.
(4) If a conciliation agreement has not been
signed and the complaint has not been withdrawn or dismissed within the time
period established for filing a Petition for Relief, the Executive Director
shall dismiss the complaint.
