The Missouri Human Rights Act authorizes the Missouri Commission on Human Rights to investigate complaints and prosecute violations of the Act. The Act requires the Commission to complete its investigation within 180 days of receiving a complaint, after which the Commission loses all authority except to issue a right-to-sue letter to the complainant, if the complainant requested a right -to-sue letter. The request for a right-to-sue letter before that time is not premature. The duty is ministerial and unresolved issues, like whether the Commission has authority over the facts as alleged, are irrelevant. Circuit court did not err in issuing a writ of mandamus requiring the Commission to issue a right-to-sue letter.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n
