The Department in 1995 received nine complaints, of which the Department dismissed four complaints as no violation and five complaints remain under investigation.

One 1992 complaint remained active within the department at the beginning of 1995. The complainant had appealed the Department's initial determination in this complaint. In 1995, the Department reaffirmed its initial determination and referred the complaint to the Attorney General to be considered for litigation.
