This 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. The sheriff is required to adopt written policies that include monetary limits on individual and total monthly purchases, ensure sole access to card information, maintain accurate records of purchases, and review bills for unauthorized charges. Additionally, the sheriff must select card providers based on various criteria, including fees, rewards, and interest rates. 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 the purpose of these procedures is to provide a more efficient payment method for authorized purchases, while also ensuring that the sheriff does not exceed legally appropriated funds or create debt for the St. Clair County Commission. The act is set to become effective on June 1, 2025. There are no deletions from current law mentioned in the text provided.
