Records may be disposed of by the Commission pursuant to the procedure outlined in this section. The Commission may at any time review any schedule it has previously approved and for good cause shown may revise that schedule.
(b) When municipal records have been approved for disposal, a list of such records shall be sent to the Auditor of the State.
