Or. Admin. Code § 839-006-0291 - Discrimination against Persons with Disabilities by State Government: Reasonable Modifications
(1) State
government shall make reasonable modifications in services, programs or
activities, including but not limited to policies and procedures, when the
modifications are necessary for state government to comply with ORS
659A.142(5)
unless state government can demonstrate that making the modifications would
result in a fundamental alteration in the nature of the service, program, or
activity or would result in undue financial or administrative burdens on state
government. This will be determined on a case by case basis.
(2) ORS
659A.142(5) and
these rules are not intended to:
(a) Create
an independent entitlement to any service, program or activity of state
government; or
(b) Require state
government to take any action that it can demonstrate would result in a
fundamental alteration in the nature of a service, program or activity or would
result in undue financial or administrative burdens, as determined on a
case-by-case basis.
(3)
In determining whether financial and administrative burdens are undue for
purposes of ORS 659A.142(5) and
these rules, all resources available for use in the funding and operation of
the service, program, or activity will be considered.
(4) Nothing in ORS
659A.142(5) or
these rules prohibits state government from providing benefits, services, or
advantages to individuals with disabilities beyond those required by
659A.142(5) or these rules.
