(1) Proceedings against a party alleging a violation of section 81-1386 shall be commenced by filing a complaint with the commission within one hundred eighty days of the alleged violation thereby causing a copy of the complaint to be served upon the accused party. The accused party shall have ten days within which to file a written answer to the complaint. If the commission determines that the complaint has no basis in fact, the commission may dismiss the complaint. If the complaint has a basis in fact, the commission shall set a time for hearing. The parties shall be permitted to be represented by counsel, summon witnesses, and request the commission to subpoena witnesses on the requester's behalf.

(2) The commission shall file its findings of fact and conclusions of law.

Any party may petition the district court for injunctive relief pursuant to rules of civil procedure.

(3) Any party aggrieved by any decision or order of the commission may, within thirty days from the date such decision or order is filed, appeal therefrom to the Supreme Court.
