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 defines "credit card" and "debit card" and outlines the sheriff's responsibilities in adopting 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 will be deposited into the discretionary account of the St. Clair County Sheriff's Office. It emphasizes that the purpose of this legislation is to enhance the efficiency of payment methods for authorized purchases while ensuring that the sheriff does not exceed legally appropriated funds or incur debt for the St. Clair County Commission. The act is set to take effect on June 1, 2025.
