LOCAL COMMISSIONS

In Iowa there exists twenty-two (22) local human rights commissions. The local commissions, city and county, created by local ordinance, exist independently of the ICRC. Although not branch offices of the ICRC, the local commissions interact and work with the ICRC. Some of the local commissions process complaints. Nearly 16% of the ICRC's resolved complaints in Fiscal Year 1987 were settled or investigated by local commissions.
