Current through Register 2024 Notice Reg. No. 28, July 12, 2024
(a) The Division will provide reasonable
					 accommodations to individuals with disabilities to promote equal access to and
					 equal participation in the Division's programs, activities and
					 services.
(b) A request for a
					 disability accommodation to participate in the Division's programs, activities,
					 or services may be made in writing on an optional disability accommodation
					 request form, or orally to a Disability Coordinator. If the request concerns
					 activities, programs or services provided at a Division district office, then
					 the request should be directed to the Disability Coordinator located in each
					 district office. If the request concerns other Division activities, programs or
					 services, then the request should be directed to the Division's Statewide
					 Disability Coordinator.
(c) Written
					 notice of how to request a disability accommodation shall be posted and made
					 available to the public.
(d)
					 Disability accommodation requests shall include a statement regarding the
					 limitation or impairment necessitating the accommodation; what accommodation is
					 requested; how the requested accommodation would mitigate the impact of the
					 disability or impairment in accessing the program; and the location, date and
					 time the accommodation is needed.
(e) Disability accommodation requests shall
					 not address substantive issues involved in a legal proceeding.
(f) Additional information, including medical
					 documentation, may be requested by the Division as support for the
					 accommodation request.
(g) In
					 general, requests should be made with as much notice as possible. If the
					 request is made less than five days before the date it is needed, the Division
					 will provide a reasonable accommodation by that date unless it is unreasonable
					 to do so.
(h) Upon submitting a
					 request, the requestor must enter an interactive process to assist in
					 determining what, if any, reasonable accommodation may be provided. The
					 interactive process includes providing additional information and timely
					 correspondence with the Division as needed to address the accommodation
					 request.
