This bill amends Minnesota Statutes 2024, section 363A.08, subdivision 6, to enhance the process for requesting job accommodations for employees with known disabilities. It requires employers, employment agencies, and labor organizations to provide a job accommodation request form to individuals who disclose a disability and seek accommodations. This form is intended to facilitate an interactive process between the employer and the employee, helping to identify the limitations caused by the disability and potential reasonable accommodations that could address those limitations.

Additionally, the bill mandates that the commissioner develop and distribute a standardized job accommodation request form for use by employers and organizations. This form must enable employees to specify their limitations and suggest possible accommodations. The bill retains the existing provisions regarding what constitutes reasonable accommodations and the factors to consider when determining whether an accommodation would impose an undue hardship on the employer.
