(b) Any variations, adjustments, corrections and revisions in the system shall be made annually so as to be effective on January 1 of each year following the proposed change. (c) Any changes so proposed in order to become effective shall be mutually agreed upon by the department and a majority of the county highway departments of the state.

NOTE: 2003 Wis. Act 214, which affected this section, contains extensive explanatory notes.

However, the board’s audit authority is limited to determining whether the expenditure is within the scope of the committee’s statutory or delegated authority. 63 Atty. Gen. 136.
