            3.  The Commissioner shall review and approve the list to insure that such planned expenditure is consistent with the long-term plan on file.

 

            4.  The Commissioner shall be responsible for establishing the accounts necessary to carry out the intent of MCA 17-7-304.

 

            5.  Each campus shall submit upon request of the Commissioner a summary of expenditures from the reverted account.
