Section 910IAC1-2-3. Complaints; amendment

   (a) Any person claiming to be aggrieved by a discriminatory practice or act contrary to the provisions of the Indiana Civil Rights Law may make, sign, and file a complaint with the commission.

  (b) The director or deputy director, in his or her official capacity, may initiate a complaint when he or she has reason to believe that an act of discrimination has been committed against a person or a class of people in order to vindicate the policy of the state as defined in the Indiana Civil Rights Law.

  (c) Where a complaint is filed in accordance with this article, and the director or deputy director, in the course of the investigation, determines that relief for more than the individual complainant is appropriate, he or she, in his or her official capacity, may file a separate complaint with respect to the acts of discrimination against such other individuals. Such separate complaint may be consolidated with the original or amended complaint for purposes of all subsequent proceedings or may be docketed separately at the discretion of the director or deputy director.
