- All complaints should be filed in writing, contain the name and address of the person(s) filing it and briefly describe the alleged violation.
- A complaint should be filed within 180 days (Title II §35.170) after the complainant becomes aware of the alleged violation. (Processing of allegations of discrimination, which took place before this grievance procedure was in effect will be considered on a case-by-case basis.)
