Sec.46a-54-63a. No-fault conciliation

The respondent may, not later than thirty (30) days after receipt of a complaint, choose to provide immediate relief to the complainant. If the complainant accepts the offer of relief and the relief offered is acceptable to the commission as a just resolution of the complaint, a no-fault conciliation agreement shall be executed and the complaint shall be disposed of subject to full performance by the respondent of the terms of the no-fault conciliation agreement and without a determination by the commission of the liability of the respondent. An offer of a no-fault conciliation shall not extend the period of time in which an answer to the complaint is due, and the commission or other party may request the entry of an order of default in the event that an answer is not timely filed despite the pendency of a no-fault conciliation offer. Any agreement to resolve a complaint through a no-fault conciliation shall be executed by the complainant, respondent and the commission before the answer is required to be filed.
