(c) The director and librarian or the designee of the director and librarian may reject a records control schedule or amended schedule for filing only if a retention period listed on it is less than a retention period for the same record established on a records retention schedule issued by the commission or if the schedule is in violation of this subtitle or a rule adopted under it. The director and librarian or the designee of the director and librarian may reject a written certification of compliance described by Section 203.041(a)(2) or an amended written certification of compliance described by Section 203.041(c) for filing only if the records management officer files a written certification of compliance in a form and manner that has not been approved by the director and librarian.
(d) The director and librarian or the designee of the director and librarian may make it a condition of acceptance of a records control schedule or amended schedule for filing that a record listed on the schedule be transferred to the custody of the commission on the expiration of its retention period rather than being destroyed.
