If the case is not settled by an agreement between the parties, after completing the investigation, the equal rights officer will write an initial determination of either probable or no probable cause. Probable cause is not a finding of discrimination. It means there is enough believable information to send the case forward for a hearing on the merits. No probable cause cases are dismissed, unless the complainant appeals. Probable cause cases are sent for a hearing on the merits, and an administrative law judge issues a decision as to whether the law was violated and may order relief to the complainant.
Discrimination is a serious and offensive act.
People alleging discrimination should be afforded the most effective and sincere investigation conducted on their behalf by the professionals whose job it is to discover truth.
