Nussbaum, II Jenny Pit s Maurer <br /> City Attorney Chief Assistant City Attorney <br /> July 2, 1996 <br /> Mr. Roland Kelly, President <br /> South Bend Common Council <br /> 4th Floor County-City Building <br /> South Bend, IN 46601 <br /> Re: Amendment to the South Bend Human Rights Ordinance <br /> Dear Mr. Kelly: <br /> On June 26, 1996 I forwarded to you a proposed amendment to <br /> the South Bend Human Rights Ordinance. After having done so, it <br /> was brought to my attention that the South Bend Ordinance <br /> conflicts with the federal Fair Housing Act in its period of <br /> limitations for filing a charge of discrimination. Specifically, <br /> the Fair Housing Act allows an "aggrieved person" one year in <br /> which to file a charge of discrimination, while the South Bend <br /> Human Rights Ordinance allows such a person six months within <br /> which to do so. The attached amendment to Section 2-128 (1) is <br /> intended to make the South Bend Human Rights Ordinance consistent <br /> with the federal Fair Housing Act in the limitations for filing a <br /> charge of discrimination. <br /> Thank you for your assistance in processing this ordinance <br /> amendment-. <br /> Sincerely, <br /> OP // /-/ r <br /> /J/ <br /> Aladean M.
