The bill authorizes the Sheriff of St. Clair County to establish procedures for using credit and debit cards for making purchases of tangible personal property or services. It includes definitions for "credit card" and "debit card," and mandates the sheriff to adopt 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 will be deposited into the discretionary account of the St. Clair County Sheriff's Office. The bill emphasizes that it does not authorize the sheriff to exceed legally appropriated funds or to incur debt for the St. Clair County Commission. The act is set to become effective on June 1, 2025. The new legal language inserted into the current law includes provisions for the establishment of these procedures, while no specific deletions from existing law are noted in the text provided.
