State Government / Indiana / Legislation / HB 1193

HB 1193Session 2026HouseBecame law

Civil rights commission.

Provides that the civil rights commission (commission) may not represent a private individual in a civil action filed in circuit or superior court. Amends the definition of "discriminatory practice". Requires the commission to first send a complaint received by the commission to another state or federal agency that has jurisdiction over the complaint. Allows the commission to enter into a memorandum of understanding with a state or federal agency if certain conditions are met. Requires the party that elects to have claims asserted in a finding of reasonable cause decided in a civil action to file the civil action. Provides that the commission may only represent the state in a civil action and repeals a provision allowing a court to award monetary damages in those cases. Conforms the circumstances under which the commission may be required to pay attorney's fees to the circumstances under which an agency may be required to pay fees under the administrative orders and proceedings act (AOPA).
