The bill authorizes the Sheriff of Chilton County to establish procedures for using credit and debit cards for making purchases, provided that proper protocols are followed. It defines "credit card" and "debit card" and outlines the sheriff's authority to create written policies governing their use. These policies must include monetary limits on individual and total monthly purchases, procedures for secure access to card information, accurate record-keeping, and timely payment of bills to avoid additional charges. The sheriff is also tasked with selecting card providers based on various criteria, including fees and rewards.

Additionally, the bill stipulates that any rewards or rebates earned from the use of these cards must be deposited into the discretionary account of the Chilton County Sheriff's Office. Importantly, the bill clarifies that it does not authorize the sheriff to exceed appropriated funds or incur debt on behalf of the Chilton County Commission. The act is set to take effect on June 1, 2024.
