Plain-language change summary

The amendments to Bill SB 2487 primarily change how a fact-finding conference is conducted when a charge is filed. The new language requires the Department to hold a conference if both the complainant and respondent request it within 90 days of the charge being filed, unless the Department has already issued its report. This change ensures that both parties have a clearer opportunity for a hearing before a final decision is made, which could lead to more equitable outcomes in civil rights cases.
