Bill > HF3319

This bill amends Minnesota's employment discrimination law to require employers with 15 or more employees to provide a standardized job accommodation request form when an employee discloses a disability and needs workplace accommodations. The bill mandates that the state's commissioner create an official form that allows employees to specify their disability-related limitations and potential reasonable accommodations. Under the existing law, employers are already required to engage in an informal, interactive process to determine appropriate accommodations for employees with disabilities, but this bill adds the specific requirement of a formal request form. The form must help facilitate communication between employers and employees about necessary workplace adaptations, which could include modifications like job restructuring, adjusted work schedules, equipment modifications, or reassignment to vacant positions. The goal is to make it easier for employees with disabilities to request and receive appropriate workplace accommodations while providing a clear, standardized process for employers to evaluate and respond to these requests.
