(1)

Upon timely application, the attorney general may intervene in any civil action filed as provided in section 24-34-505.6 if the attorney general certifies that the case is of general public importance.

The attorney general may commence a civil action in any appropriate district court for appropriate relief with respect to:

(a)

A discriminatory housing practice referred to the attorney general by the commission under section 24-34-306; or

Breach of a conciliation agreement referred to the attorney general by the director under section 24-34-506.5.
