(3)
An aggrieved person may file a civil action in an appropriate Circuit Court not
later than two (2) years after the occurrence or the termination of an alleged
discriminatory housing practice, or the breach of a conciliation agreement
entered into as the result of an alleged discriminatory housing practice,
whichever occurs last, to obtain appropriate relief with respect to the
discriminatory housing practice or breach.
The computation of the two (2) year period shall not include any time during
which an administrative proceeding under this chapter is pending with respect
to a complaint or charge of an alleged discriminatory housing practice. This
subsection does not apply to actions arising from a breach of a conciliation
agreement entered into as a result of an alleged discriminatory housing
practice.
An aggrieved person may file a civil action under this section whether or not a
complaint has been filed under KRS 344.600, and without regard to the status
of any such complaint, but:
(a) If the commission has obtained a conciliation agreement with the consent
of an aggrieved person, the aggrieved person may not file an action under
this section with respect to the alleged discriminatory housing practice
which forms the basis for the complaint except for the purposes of
enforcing the terms of the conciliation agreement; and
(b) An aggrieved person may not file a civil action under this section with
respect to an alleged discriminatory housing practice which forms the
basis of a charge issued by the commission if the commission has
commenced a hearing.
