Committee outlines OHR process, time commitment and record deadline for Human Rights Commission nominees

At the Committee on Public Works and Operations roundtable on Oct. 5, Chair Brianne Nadeau described the investigative and adjudicative process that links the Office of Human Rights to the D.C. Commission on Human Rights. Nadeau told nominees that OHR employees investigate complaints, attempt mediation and draft findings for the director; “If the director finds probable cause to believe there’s been a violation, then the case can proceed to the Commission on Human Rights,” she said.
