Florida Administrative Codes
Florida Commission on Human Relations
Public Accommodations Discrimination

60Y-10.001 FAC | PURPOSE

These rules implement the statutory provisions which make it unlawful discrimination for the operator of a public lodging establishment or a public food service establishment to refuse accommodation or service to any person when the refusal is based upon race, creed, color, sex, physical disability or national origin. The Florida Civil Rights Act of 1992 authorizes the Commission on Human Relations to investigate complaints of discrimination by public lodging establishments and public food service establishments and provides for relief by subsequent administrative proceeding or civil action in court.

60Y-10.002 FAC | COVERED ENTITITES AND FACILITIES

60Y-10.003 FAC | WHO MAY FILE A COMPLAINT; CONFIDENTIALITY

(1) Any person aggrieved by a violation of Section 509.092, F.S. (1991), may file a complaint with the Commission within 365 days of the alleged violation. The Commission, a commissioner, or the Attorney General may, in like manner, file such a complaint. A commissioner who files a complaint becomes the complainant and shall not participate in the proceedings upon that complaint as a commissioner. All complaints must be reasonably specific as to the time and date of the alleged violation.

(2) All complaints filed with the Commission and all records and documents in the custody of the Commission which relate to and identify a particular person, including but not limited to, a complainant, owner, license, operator or employee of a public lodging establishment or public food service establishment shall be confidential and shall not be disclosed by the Commission, except to the parties or in the course of a hearing or proceeding under Section 760.11, F.S. (1992 Supp.). Disclosure is authorized to any other agency of the state or any other unit of government of the state that has jurisdiction of the subject matter of the complaint or that has legal authority to investigate the complaint.

60Y-10.004 FAC | INVESTIGATORY PROCESS

(1) Within five (5) days of a complaint being filed, the Commission shall by registered mail send a copy of the complaint to the establishment that allegedly committed the violation. A copy of Section 760.11, F.S. (1992 Supp.), may also be provided in the mail.

(2) The Commission may likewise provide a copy of the complaint to any other agency of the state, or to an agency of any other unit of government of the state, which has jurisdiction of the subject matter of the complaint or which has legal authority to investigate the complaint.

(3) Within 25 days of the date the complaint was filed, an answer may be filed on behalf of the establishment named for the alleged violation. The absence of an answer, however, shall in no manner delay the investigation of the complaint.

(4) The Executive Director is authorized to refer complaints in accordance with the provisions of Section 760.11(2), F.S. (1992 Supp.).

60Y-10.005 FAC | RELATIONSHIP OF OTHER RULES

Congratulations! You're now booked up on the FCHR's Florida Administrative Codes that deal with Public Accommodations Discrimination!

You might need to reference them during your pursuit of justice.

For instance, you may need to understand certain regulations to recover from the damages that lawbreaking judges/lawyers/agencies have inflicted upon you [and/or the public] (see this example of a Florida judge who outright committed perjury).

As always, please get the justice you deserve.

Sincerely,
