(a) The chief referee shall schedule a date for a hearing pursuant to section 46a-84 to be held within forty-five days of any temporary injunctive relief or restraining order issued pursuant to section 46a-89a. Such temporary injunctive relief or restraining order shall remain in effect until the presiding officer renders a decision on the complaint. If the commission does not conduct its hearing procedure with reasonable speed, the court, on the motion of the respondent and for good cause shown, shall remove such temporary injunction and assume jurisdiction of all civil proceedings arising out of the complaint and shall set the matter for hearing on the merits. The presiding officer shall render a decision within twenty days after the close of evidence and the filing of briefs.
(b) When the presiding officer finds that the respondent has engaged in any discriminatory practice prohibited by section 46a-60, 46a-64, 46a-64c, 46a-81c, 46a-81d or 46a-81e and grants relief on the complaint, requiring that a temporary injunction remain in effect, the executive director may, through the procedure outlined in subsection (a) of section 46a-95, petition the court which granted the original temporary injunction to make the injunction permanent.
(c) Upon issuance of a permanent injunction, the case shall be returned to the commission for such further action as is authorized by this chapter.
(d) Any temporary injunction issued under section 46a-89a shall remain in effect during any appeal under section 46a-94a, or any enforcement procedure under section 46a-95, unless removed by the court.
