Sec. 8. (a) On June 15 following the operational report year, the state board of accounts shall prepare a certified list of counties and municipalities that have not complied with this chapter.

     (b) The state board of accounts shall immediately apprise the state comptroller when the certified list described in subsection (a) is initially certified or revised for an operational report year.

     (c) The state comptroller shall withhold the distribution of motor vehicle highway account funds from any county or municipality appearing on the state board of accounts certified list until the state board of accounts certifies the compliance of the county or municipality with this chapter. If the state comptroller withholds distribution of motor vehicle highway account funds from a county or municipality under this subsection and the county or municipality is subsequently certified to be in compliance with this chapter, the state comptroller shall resume making distributions of motor vehicle highway account funds to the county or municipality and also distribute those motor vehicle highway account funds that were previously withheld.
