Conciliation, defined.
Operative Text
Conciliation shall mean the attempted resolution of issues raised by a complaint or by the investigation of a complaint through informal negotiations involving the aggrieved person, the respondent, and the commission.
Under Neb. Rev. Stat. § 20-301 et seq. § 20-307, "conciliation" is a defined term referring to the informal negotiation process used to try to resolve issues that arise from a fair housing complaint or its investigation. This process brings together the person who filed the complaint, the party accused of a violation, and the commission overseeing the matter. The definition establishes a structured but informal pathway for resolving disputes without necessarily proceeding to a formal hearing.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Neb. Rev. Stat. § 20-301 et seq. § 20-307 establishes that when a fair housing complaint is filed or investigated, the commission may initiate a conciliation process involving all parties. Property owners and managers named as respondents in a complaint are generally expected to participate in good faith in these informal negotiations. Understanding this defined term helps operators recognize that conciliation is a distinct, commission-facilitated step that may occur before any formal adjudication.
