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, 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. The bill emphasizes that it does not authorize the sheriff to exceed appropriated funds or incur debt for the Chilton County Commission. The act is set to take effect on June 1, 2024. The new legal language includes the insertion of "Enrolled," and the date of Senate passage is noted as May 2, 2024.
