421001. This act shall be known as the Kansas act against discrimination. It
43shall be deemed an exercise of the police power of the state for the
1protection of the public welfare, safety, health and peace of the people of
2this state. The practice or policy of discrimination against individuals in
3employment relations, in relation to free and public accommodations, in
4housing by reason of race, religion, color, sex, disability, national origin or
5ancestry or in housing by reason of familial status is a matter of concern to
6the state, since such discrimination threatens not only the rights and
7privileges of the inhabitants of the state of Kansas but menaces the
8institutions and foundations of a free democratic state. It is hereby
9declared to be the policy of the state of Kansas to eliminate and prevent
10discrimination in all employment relations, to eliminate and prevent
11discrimination, segregation, or separation in all places of public
12accommodations covered by this act, and to eliminate and prevent
13discrimination, segregation or separation in housing.
14It is also declared to be the policy of this state to assure equal
15opportunities and encouragement to every citizen regardless of race,
16religion, color, sex, disability, national origin or ancestry, in securing and
17holding, without discrimination, employment in any field of work or labor
18for which a person is properly qualified, to assure equal opportunities to all
19persons within this state to full and equal public accommodations, and to
20assure equal opportunities in housing without distinction on account of
21race, religion, color, sex, disability, familial status, national origin or
22ancestry. It is further declared that the opportunity to secure and to hold
23employment, the opportunity for full and equal public accommodations as
24covered by this act and the opportunity for full and equal housing are civil
25rights of every citizen.
26It is also declared to be the policy of this state that public institutions
27that receive and expend tax dollars are prohibited from engaging in
28practices or implementing policies that are antisemitic or otherwise
29promote antisemitism. It is further declared to be the policy of the state
30that no person shall be required to participate in programing or training
31that promotes or degrades any one religion and that governmental entities
32are prohibited from enacting policies that promote or degrade any one
33religion.
34To protect these rights, it is hereby declared to be the purpose of this act
35to establish and to provide a state commission having power to eliminate
36and prevent segregation and discrimination, or separation in employment,
37in all places of public accommodations covered by this act, in housing
38because of race, religion, color, sex, disability, national origin or ancestry
39and in housing because of familial status, either by employers, labor
40organizations, employment agencies, realtors, financial institutions or
41other persons as hereinafter provided.

18The commission may issue subpoenas to compel access to or the
19production of such materials, or the appearance of such persons, and may
20issue interrogatories to a respondent to the same extent and subject to the
21same limitations as would apply if the subpoena or interrogatories were
22issued or served in aid of a civil action in the district court. The
23commission shall have access at all reasonable times to premises and may
24compel such access by application to a court of competent jurisdiction
25provided that the commission first complies with the provisions of article
2615 of the Kansas bill of rights and the fourth amendment to the United

11employment practice or by an alleged unlawful discriminatory practice,
12and who can articulate a prima facie case pursuant to a recognized legal
13theory of discrimination, may, personally or by an attorney-at-law, make,
14sign and file with the commission a verified complaint in writing,

18of or the name and address of the person alleged to have committed the
19unlawful discriminatory practice complained of, and which shall set forth
20the particulars thereof and contain such other information as may be
21required by the commission.
22(b) (1) The commission upon its own initiative or the attorney general
23may, in like manner, make, sign and file such complaint. Whenever the
24attorney general has sufficient reason to believe that any person as herein
25defined is engaged in a practice of discrimination, segregation or
26separation in violation of this act, the attorney general may make, sign and
27file a complaint. Any employer whose employees or some of whom, refuse
28or threaten to refuse to cooperate with the provisions of this act, may file
29with the commission a verified complaint asking for assistance by
30conciliation or other remedial action.
31(2) (A) In addition to making, signing and filing a complaint, the
32attorney general may investigate the alleged unlawful employment
33practice or alleged unlawful discriminatory practice. During the course of
34such investigation, the attorney general may:
35(i) Subpoena witnesses, evidence, records, documents or other

4exceed $10,000 for each violation.
5(c) Whenever any problem of discrimination because of race,
6religion, color, sex, disability, national origin or ancestry arises, or
7whenever the commission has, in its own judgment, reason to believe that
8any person has engaged in an unlawful employment practice or an
9unlawful discriminatory practice in violation of this act, or has engaged in
10a pattern or practice of discrimination, the commission may conduct an
11investigation without filing a complaint and shall have the same powers
12during such investigation as provided for the investigation of complaints.
13The person to be investigated shall be advised of the nature and scope of
14such investigation prior to its commencement. The purpose of the
15investigation shall be to resolve any such problems promptly. In the event
16such problems cannot be resolved within a reasonable time, the
17commission may issue a complaint whenever the investigation has
18revealed a violation of the Kansas act against discrimination has occurred.
19The information gathered in the course of the first investigation may be
20used in processing the complaint.
21(d) After the filing of any complaint by an aggrieved individual, by
22the commission, or by the attorney general, the commission shall, within
23seven days after the filing of the complaint, serve a copy on each of the
24parties alleged to have violated this act, and shall designate one of the
25commissioners to make, with the assistance of the commission's staff,
26prompt investigation of the alleged act of discrimination. If the
27commissioner shall determine after such investigation that no probable
28cause exists for crediting the allegations of the complaint, such
29commissioner, within 10 business days from such determination, shall
30cause to be issued and served upon the complainant and respondent written
31notice of such determination.
32(e) If such commissioner after such investigation, shall determine that
33probable cause exists for crediting the allegations for the complaint, the
34commissioner or such other commissioner as the commission may
35designate, shall immediately endeavor to eliminate the unlawful
36employment practice or the unlawful discriminatory practice complained
37of by conference and conciliation. The complainant, respondent and
38commission shall have 45 days from the date respondent is notified in
39writing of a finding of probable cause to enter into a conciliation
40agreement signed by all parties in interest. The parties may amend a
41conciliation agreement at any time prior to the date of entering into such
42agreement. Upon agreement by the parties the time for entering into such
43agreement may be extended. The members of the commission and its staff
1shall not disclose what has transpired in the course of such endeavors.
2(f) In case of failure to eliminate such practices by conference and
3conciliation, or in advance thereof, if in the judgment of the commissioner
4or the commission circumstances so warrant, the commissioner or the
5commission shall commence a hearing in accordance with the provisions
6of the Kansas administrative procedure act naming as parties the
7complainant and the person, employer, labor organization, employment
8agency, realtor or financial institution named in such complaint,
9hereinafter referred to as respondent. A copy of the complaint shall be
10served on the respondent. At least four commissioners or a presiding

13respondent is doing business and the acts complained of occurred.
14(g) The complainant or respondent may apply to the presiding officer
15for the issuance of a subpoena for the attendance of any person or the
16production or examination of any books, records or documents pertinent to
17the proceeding at the hearing. Upon such application the presiding officer
18shall issue such subpoena.
19(h) The case in support of the complaint shall be presented before the
20presiding officer by one of the commission's attorneys or agents, or by
21private counsel, if any, of the complainant, and the commissioner who
22shall have previously made the investigation shall not participate in the
23hearing except as a witness. Any endeavors at conciliation shall not be
24received in evidence.
25(i) Any complaint filed pursuant to this act must be so filed within six
26months after the alleged act of discrimination, unless the act complained of
27constitutes a continuing pattern or practice of discrimination in which
28event it will be from the last act of discrimination. Complaints filed with
29the commission may be dismissed by the commission on its own initiative,
30and shall be dismissed by the commission upon the written request of the
31complainant, if the commission has not issued a finding of probable cause
32or no probable cause or taken other administrative action dismissing the
33complaint within 300 days of the filing of the complaint. The commission
34shall mail written notice to all parties of dismissal of a complaint within
35five days of dismissal. Any such dismissal of a complaint in accordance
36with this section shall constitute final action by the commission which
37shall be deemed to exhaust all administrative remedies under the Kansas
38act against discrimination for the purpose of allowing subsequent filing of
39the matter in court by the complainant, without the requirement of filing a
40petition for reconsideration pursuant to K.S.A. 44-1010, and amendments
41thereto. Dismissal of a complaint in accordance with this section shall not
42be subject to appeal or judicial review by any court under the provisions of
43K.S.A. 44-1011, and amendments thereto. The provisions of this section
1shall not apply to complaints alleging discriminatory housing practices
2filed with the commission pursuant to K.S.A. 44-1015 et seq., and
3amendments thereto.
4(j) The respondent may file a written verified answer to the complaint
5and appear at such hearing in person or otherwise, with or without counsel,
6and submit testimony. The complainant shall appear at such hearing in
7person, with or without counsel, and submit testimony. The presiding
8officer or the complainant shall have the power reasonably and fairly to
9amend any complaint, and the respondent shall have like power to amend
10such respondent's answer. The presiding officer shall be bound by the rules
11of evidence prevailing in courts of law or equity, and only relevant
12evidence of reasonable probative value shall be received.
13(k) If the presiding officer finds a respondent has engaged in or is
14engaging in any unlawful employment practice or unlawful discriminatory
15practice as defined in this act, the presiding officer shall render an order
16requiring such respondent to cease and desist from such unlawful
17employment practice or such unlawful discriminatory practice and to take
18such affirmative action, including but not limited to the hiring,
19reinstatement, or upgrading of employees, with or without back pay, and
20the admission or restoration to membership in any respondent labor
21organizations; the admission to and full and equal enjoyment of the goods,
22services, facilities, and accommodations offered by any respondent place
23of public accommodation denied in violation of this act, as, in the
24judgment of the presiding officer, will effectuate the purposes of this act,
25and including a requirement for report of the manner of compliance. Such
26order may also include an award of damages for pain, suffering and
27humiliation which are incidental to the act of discrimination, except that an
28award for such pain, suffering and humiliation shall in no event exceed the
29sum of $2,000 $10,000.
30(l) Any state, county or municipal agency may pay a complainant
31back pay if it has entered into a conciliation agreement for such purposes
32with the commission, and may pay such back pay if it is ordered to do so
33by the commission.
34(m) If the presiding officer finds that a respondent has not engaged in
35any such unlawful employment practice, or any such unlawful
36discriminatory practice, the presiding officer shall render an order
37dismissing the complaint as to such respondent.
38(n) The commission shall review an initial order rendered under
39subsection (k) or (m). In addition to the parties, a copy of any final order
40shall be served on the attorney general and such other public officers as the
41commission may deem proper.
42(o) The commission shall, except as otherwise provided, establish
43rules of practice to govern, expedite and effectuate the foregoing
1procedure and its own actions thereunder. The rules of practice shall be
2available, upon written request, within 30 days after the date of adoption.
