Operative Text
The commission shall conduct such educational and conciliatory activities as in the commission's judgment will further the purposes of the Nebraska Fair Housing Act. The commission shall call conferences of persons in the housing industry and other interested persons to acquaint them with the act and suggested means of implementing it and shall endeavor with their advice to work out programs of voluntary compliance and of enforcement. The commission shall consult with local officials and other interested parties to learn the extent, if any, to which housing discrimination exists in their locality and whether and how local enforcement programs might be utilized to combat such discrimination in connection with or in place of the commission's enforcement of the act. The commission shall issue reports on such conferences and consultations as it deems appropriate.
Under Neb. Rev. Stat. § 20-301 et seq. § 20-324, Nebraska's Equal Opportunity Commission is directed to carry out educational outreach, hold conferences with housing industry participants, and pursue voluntary compliance programs alongside formal enforcement of the Nebraska Fair Housing Act. The commission is also required to consult with local officials to assess the presence of housing discrimination in their communities and explore how local enforcement efforts can complement or substitute for state-level action. Reports on these activities may be issued as the commission sees fit.
