In order to promote progressive discipline, the department shall
					 establish disciplinary sanction guidelines which may include sanction ranges for
					 certain charges based upon the level of seriousness of the offense. Disaggregation
					 will not result in additional numbered charges under the department's disciplinary
					 rules, and previous offenses relating to the same numbered charge, regardless of
					 disaggregation, will be considered "prior charges" for the purpose of determining
					 whether a particular violation is a "first", "second", or "third"
					 offense.
