Okla. Stat. tit. 25, §§ 1451–1453, 1501–1508 § 1502.6
Complaint Conciliation
Operative Text
A. The Attorney General may, during the period beginning with the filing of a complaint and ending with the filing of a charge or a dismissal by the Attorney General's Office of Civil Rights Enforcement, to the extent feasible, engage in conciliation with respect to the complaint. B. A conciliation agreement is an agreement between a respondent and the complainant and is subject to the Attorney General's approval. C. A conciliation agreement may provide for binding arbitration or other method of dispute resolution. Dispute resolution that results from a conciliation agreement may authorize appropriate relief, including monetary relief. D. A conciliation agreement shall be made public unless the complainant and respondent agree otherwise, and the Attorney General determines that disclosure is not necessary to further the purpose of Section 1101 et seq. of this title. E. Nothing said or done in the course of conciliation may be made public or used as evidence in a subsequent proceeding pursuant to Section 1101 et seq. of this title without the written consent of the persons concerned. F. After completion of any investigation conducted by the Attorney General, the Attorney General shall make available to the aggrieved person and the respondent, at any time, information derived from the investigation and the final investigation report relating to that investigation.
Under 25 O.S. § 1502.6, Oklahoma's Attorney General is authorized to attempt conciliation—a structured negotiation process—between a person who filed a housing discrimination complaint and the party accused of the violation. Any agreement reached through this process must be approved by the Attorney General and can include binding arbitration, other dispute-resolution methods, and monetary relief. Statements and actions taken during conciliation are generally kept confidential and cannot be used as evidence in later proceedings without written consent from those involved. Once an investigation is complete, both the complainant and the respondent are entitled to access the investigation's findings and final report.

Under 25 O.S. § 1502.6, a respondent in a housing discrimination complaint may be invited to participate in a conciliation process facilitated by the Attorney General's Office of Civil Rights Enforcement. Operators who engage in this process should be aware that any agreement reached is binding only upon the Attorney General's approval, and that the terms of a finalized conciliation agreement may be made public unless both parties agree otherwise and the Attorney General concurs that confidentiality is appropriate. Compliant operators generally document their participation carefully and understand that statements made during conciliation are protected from use in subsequent proceedings.

Under 25 O.S. § 1502.6, a person who has filed a housing discrimination complaint has the right to participate in a conciliation process that may result in an agreement providing monetary or other appropriate relief. Conciliation statements and actions are kept confidential and cannot be used against a complainant in later proceedings without their written consent, offering a degree of protection during negotiations. Aggrieved persons are also entitled to receive the investigation findings and final report at any time after the investigation is complete; tenant-rights organizations or the Attorney General's Office of Civil Rights Enforcement can provide general information about how this process works.
