Provides that on and after June 1, 2018, for an appointed officer rank subject to hearing under provisions concerning removal, demotion, or suspension that is covered by a collective bargaining agreement, disciplinary measures and the method of review of those measures are subject to mandatory bargaining, including, but not limited to, the use of impartial arbitration as an alternative or supplemental form of due process and any of specified procedures. Provides requirements for the conclusion of a hearing overseen by a hearing officer, duties of hearing officers, and allows the Sheriff or respondent to file exceptions to a hearing officer's recommended order concerning discipline. Repeals language requiring the Merit Board to propose to the County Board the range of compensation for each of the designated ranks or propose a single rate of compensation for each deputy sheriff in a particular rank. Effective immediately.
