They shall be open to the <br>inspection and transcript of the commissioner or the commissioner's authorized <br>representative at any reasonable time, and shall be in compliance with all <br>regulations issued by the commissioner. These payroll records shall not be <br>destroyed or removed from this state for one (1) year following the completion of <br>the improvement in connection with which they are made.
