    • 723. Reasonable accommodation duties

   (a) A qualified handicapped person requesting a reasonable accommodation in a good-faith effort to seek an employment opportunity must apprise the employer, employment agency or labor organization of the person's handicap, submit any necessary medical documentation, make suggestions for such possible accommodations as are known to such handicapped person and cooperate in any ensuing discussion and evaluation aimed at determining possible or feasible accommodations.

(b) Once a qualified handicapped person has requested an accommodation, or if a potential accommodation is obvious in the circumstances, an employer, employment agency or labor organization shall investigate whether there are reasonable accommodations that can be made and make reasonable accommodations as defined in § 722(6) of this title. If affirmatively requested in writing by the employer, employment agency or labor organization, the handicapped person may be required to accept the employment opportunity in writing as a precondition to the initiation of such investigation.
