CONCILIATION (§ 36-96.13)

During the period beginning with the filing of such complaint and ending with
the filing of a charge or a dismissal by the Board, the Board shall, to the
extent feasible, engage in conciliation with respect to such complaint.

A. A conciliation agreement arising out of such conciliation shall be an
agreement between the respondent and the complainant, and shall be subject to
approval by the Board.

B. A conciliation agreement may provide for binding arbitration of the dispute
arising from the complaint. Any such arbitration that results from a
conciliation agreement may award appropriate relief, including monetary relief.

C. Each conciliation agreement shall be made public unless the complainant and
respondent otherwise agree and the Board determines that disclosure is not
required to further the purposes of this chapter.

D. Whenever the Board has reasonable cause to believe that a respondent has
breached a conciliation agreement, the Board may refer the matter to the
Attorney General with a recommendation that a civil action be filed under &#xA7;
36-96.17 for the enforcement of such agreement.
