compliance as defense in agency and court proceedings
In any action or proceeding based on an alleged unlawful employment practice, no
person shall be subject to liability or punishment for or on account of the commission by
such person of an unlawful employment practice if he pleads and proves that the act or
omission complained of was in good faith, in conformity with and in reasonable reliance
on any interpretation or opinion of the division or the failure of such person to publish
or file any information required by any provision of this article if he pleads and proves
that he failed to publish or file such information in good faith, in conformity with and
in reasonable reliance on any instructions of the division regarding the publishing or
filing of such information. Either defense, if established, shall be a bar to the action
or proceeding, notwithstanding that after such act or omission, such interpretation or
opinion is modified or rescinded or is determined by judicial authority to be invalid or
of no legal effect or after failing to publish or file pursuant to the instructions of
the division such instructions are determined by judicial authority not to be in
conformity with the requirements of this article.
