The secretary of the Commission shall immediately notify the Iowa State Civil Rights Commission in writing of the filing of a charge under this Chapter by forwarding a copy of the charge, and shall provide such other and further information thereon as from time to time the commission deems proper. Notification by the Commission or its secretary to the Iowa State Civil Rights Commission must be transmitted in writing within 5 days of the event giving rise to the duty to give notice or information.

This person or persons are hereafter designated as the "investigating committee." If two or more persons are members of the investigating committee, the vote of a majority determines all questions.

It shall take the sworn testimony of the complainant and such other evidence as it deems relevant. The proceedings of the investigating committee shall be in executive session.
