An order imposing disciplinary action may be modified by ordering the petitioner demoted
or suspended or both. The Commission must determine the degree and the type of disciplinary
action to be imposed, but in no event shall the Commission impose more severe disciplinary
action than that imposed by the appointing authority. The degrees of demotion consist
of the classified positions to which the petitioner may be demoted. The period of
suspension may not exceed thirty (30) days.
