If a physical examination is required, the examining medical practitioner shall make a report certifying that the prospective employee has been examined and certified as not having any condition that would impair the fulfillment of the prescribed duties of the employment. However, if a condition exists which would impair the fulfillment of the prescribed duties, the medical practitioner shall identify such condition, the employing agency shall provide reasonable accommodation to the extent required by the Americans with Disabilities Act, 42 U.S.C. Section 12101, et seq., and the medical practitioner shall certify that the prospective employee, with the accommodation, meets the standards of medical and physical fitness for the position. Additional confidential medical information should be given only with the consent of the applicant. The examining medical practitioner shall complete the necessary forms and findings in accordance with the rules of the State Personnel Board. All such medical information shall be retained in a separate, confidential file and not as a part of the personnel file.
