Section 20.07. Withdrawal and settlement.

 

(1)  At any time before the issuance of a final decision, a complainant may file with the commission a written request to withdraw his or her complaint, specifying the reasons for the request. Upon receiving such a request, the commission may, but is not required to, issue an order dismissing the matter with or without prejudice. If the commission decides not to dismiss the case, the commission may take any appropriate action, within its authority, that the commission determines will serve the public interest.

(2)  The parties to proceedings under this chapter may not settle disputed matters by compromise and conciliation without the consent of the commission, except where the settlement is authorized by law. Upon receiving written notice that settlement has been proposed, the commission may, at its next regularly scheduled meeting, consider the proposal as the commission deems appropriate.
