(b) Disclosure. Each settlement agreement reached before the administrator transfers the complaint to the housing practices review commission shall be kept confidential, unless both the complainant(s) and the respondent(s) agree otherwise in writing. Each settlement agreement reached after the administrator transfers the complaint to the housing practices review commission shall be made public unless the complainant and respondent otherwise agree and the administrator determines that disclosure is not required to further the purpose of this article.
(c) Form. Settlements of complaints shall be issued in writing by the administrator, signed by the parties, and submitted by the administrator to the housing practices review commission for approval. The housing practices review commission shall approve a settlement unless it appears to be clearly unreasonable or in violation of procedures set forth in this article.

If substantial evidence demonstrates that a settlement has been violated, the administrator shall refer the matter to the municipal attorney for enforcement in the circuit court in which the respondent or complainant resides or transacts business or in which the alleged violation took place.
