Bill Summary · HF 3319

Legislative bill overview

HF 3319 requires employers to provide a standardized job accommodation request form for employees with known disabilities. The bill mandates that employers make this form available and establish a process for employees to formally request workplace accommodations related to their disabilities.

Why is this important

Currently, accommodation requests may occur informally through conversations or emails, which can create inconsistency, documentation gaps, and disputes about what was actually requested or promised. A standardized form creates a clear, documented process that protects both employees (by creating a formal record) and employers (by establishing clear procedures and timelines for review).

Potential points of contention

  • Compliance burden: Employers, particularly small businesses, may view the mandate as adding administrative overhead without sufficient resources or implementation guidance
  • Form scope and flexibility: Disagreement over whether a one-size-fits-all form adequately captures the diverse nature of disabilities and accommodation needs across different industries and roles
  • Interaction with ADA: Questions about whether state-level form requirements complement or conflict with existing federal Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) accommodation procedures already in place
