Under what circumstances in non-employment situations, may a public entity require documentation of a disability or information about a person’s medical condition?
A public entity may make inquiries about disability when they are necessary. For example, a municipal recreation department summer camp requires parents to fill out a questionnaire and to submit medical documentation regarding their children's ability to participate in various camp activities. The questionnaire is acceptable, if the information is needed to ensure safe participation. Unnecessary inquiries are not permitted.
