Sec. 2. The department shall adopt rules for the maintenance of order and discipline among committed persons. These rules must describe the conduct for which disciplinary action may be imposed, the type of disciplinary action that may be taken, and the disciplinary procedure to be followed. These rules shall be made available to all committed persons. The disciplinary action imposed must be proportionate to the seriousness of the violation. For purposes of IC 4-22-2, the term “rule” as used in this section relates solely to internal policy and procedure not having the force of law.
