HB 311 w/ HA 2

4/4/22

Griffith

This Amendment revises the length of time to file a complaint under the Delaware Equal Accommodations Law so that instead of extending the deadline from the current 90 days to 1 year, a complaint must be filed no more than 180 days after the occurrence of the alleged discriminatory practice. The 180 day time limit is consistent with the time frames under federal law for filing administrative complaints based on discrimination with the Office of of Civil Rights in both the Department of Health and Human Services and the Department of Education. Maryland and New Jersey also provide 180 days to file a complaint under the state equal accommodations law.
