Allow removal of complaints from HRC to Circuit Court

Summary

The bill lets a complainant, respondent, or any aggrieved person choose to have a discrimination complaint heard in a circuit court instead of before the West Virginia Human Rights Commission. The election must be made within 20 days of service, after which the Attorney General files the civil suit within 30 days. This provides a judicial alternative to the commission’s administrative process.
