Any person who claims to have been injured by an act made unlawful by this chapter, or who claims that he will be injured by such an act, may file a complaint with the chairman of said sub-committee. A complaint shall be filed within one hundred eighty (180) days after the alleged unlawful act occurred. Complaints shall be in writing and shall contain such information and be in such form as required by the human relations sub-committee. Upon receipt of a complaint, the sub-committee shall promptly investigate it and shall complete its investigation within fifteen (15) days. If a majority of the human relations sub-committee finds reasonable cause to believe that a violation of this chapter has occurred, or if a person charged with violation of this chapter refuses to furnish information to said sub-committee, the sub-committee may request the town attorney to prosecute an action in the town court against the person charged in the complaint. Such request shall be in writing.

Upon receiving such written request and with the assistance of the aggrieved person and said sub-committee, within fifteen (15) days after receiving such request, the Town Attorney shall be prepared to prosecute an action in the town court, provided a warrant is sworn out by the aggrieved person and served upon the person or persons charged with the offense.
