HB 24-1342: Testing Accommodations for Coloradans with Disabilities

• Testing entities must grant requests for testing accommodations on licensing exams if the individual has an ADA-recognized disability, previously received the same accommodation on a standardized exam, and provides a treating medical professional's recommendation letter.

• Testing entities cannot require additional diagnostic testing or psychological assessments if the requested accommodation matches one previously received or aligns with a medical provider's professional recommendation.

• Individuals denied accommodations may bring civil actions against testing entities for willful violations and recover attorney fees and costs.

• The Attorney General may investigate complaints and bring civil actions against testing entities for willful violations of this section.

• Testing entities are exempt from providing accommodations only if doing so would constitute a fundamental alteration or undue burden under the Americans with Disabilities Act.
