Such opinion, issued by the ethics administrator, may be relied upon with impunity until such time as the board adopts a contrary or qualifying opinion. Such opinion, issued by the ethics administrator, shall be placed on the general agenda at the next meeting of the board at which time the board shall either confirm, modify, or reject the opinion.
