      (1) Every covered entity must post and maintain such poster, in accordance with the rules of the Commission, in a conspicuous location accessible to all employees and housing applicants.
(2) The Commission may charge each covered entity a fee to cover printing, postage and handling expenses incurred in connection with making such poster available.
