In the event of such approval of any special form, such assessor or board shall not be required to use any general form prescribed by the secretary for which such special form is a substitute. No special form shall be approved by the Secretary of the Office of Policy and Management unless all the information which would be available on the general form is also available thereon. The secretary may, at any time, rescind approval of any special form and the regular form required by law shall be used in such municipality beginning with its next succeeding assessment date, unless in the interim another special form has been approved.
