Sec.  1626.22  Rules to be liberally construed.

    (a) These rules and regulations shall be liberally construed to 
effectuate the purposes and provisions of this Act and any other acts 
administered by the Commission.
    (b) Whenever the Commission receives a charge or obtains information 
relating to possible violations of one of the statutes which it 
administers and the charge or information reveals possible violations of 
one or more of the other statutes which it administers, the Commission 
will treat such charges or information in accordance with all such 
relevant statutes.
    (c) Whenever a charge is filed under one statute and it is 
subsequently believed that the alleged discrimination constitutes an 
unlawful employment practice under another statute administered and 
enforced by the Commission, the charge may be so amended and timeliness 
determined from the date of filing of the original charge.
