SUMMARY AS SUBMITTED

BY PROMULGATING AGENCY.

Regulation 65-2 governs the requirements for the Agency's acceptance and retention of formal complaints of discrimination under the Human Affairs Law. Current language in the regulation requires notarization of all complaints. The proposed amendments would eliminate the need for notarization on the complaint form, and would instead reflect the statutory requirement that the complainant swear or affirm the allegations of the complaint under oath.

Notice of Drafting for the proposed amended regulation was published in the State Register on September 23, 2016.
