    The assessment limits established by this section are set solely to provide prior legislative authority for the purpose of RCW 43.135.055 and may not be construed as providing a limitation on the authority of the commission to alter assessments in any manner not limited by RCW 43.135.055.  However any alteration in assessments made under the authority of this section shall be made in compliance with the procedural requirements established by this chapter for altering or amending such assessments."
