Notwithstanding any other provision of law, the rules authorized by Subsection A of this Section may provide that the state treasurer may be directed to withhold any state funds administered by the treasurer's office and due to any local government whose permitting agencies have failed to comply with the rules authorized by this Section as determined by the secretary of the Department of Revenue. Prior to issuing such an order, the local governing body shall be given the opportunity for a hearing before the appropriate legislative committee that exercises legislative oversight over the department.
