44-1022. Same; civil action by attorney general, when.
Whenever the attorney general or any district or county attorney, within the appropriate county, has reasonable cause to believe that any person or group of persons is engaged in a pattern or practice of resistance to the full enjoyment of any of the rights granted by this act, or that any group of persons has been denied any of the rights granted by this act and such denial raises an issue of general public importance, the attorney general or district or county attorney may bring a civil action, within one year after the alleged discriminatory housing practice occurred, in the district court where an action may be commenced pursuant to K.S.A. 44-1021 and amendments thereto, requesting such preventive relief, including an application for a permanent or temporary injunction, restraining order or other order against the person or persons responsible for such pattern or practice or denial of rights, as the attorney general or district or county attorney deems necessary to insure the full enjoyment of the rights granted by this act.
