If the investigating official is satisfied that further endeavor to settle a charge by conference or conciliation is futile, the official shall report the same to the Commission of Human Rights. If the commission determines that the circumstances warrant, it shall issue a written notice requiring the respondent to answer the charge at a hearing to be set within a reasonable period of time before the commission, a commissioner, or any other person designated by the commission to conduct the hearing, hereinafter referred to as hearing examiner, and at a time and place to be specified in the notice. The notice shall include a statement informing the parties of their right to transfer the matter to circuit court as provided in § 20-13-35.1 .
