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 that include monetary limits on individual and total monthly purchases, ensuring sole access to card information, maintaining accurate records, and reviewing bills for unauthorized 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. Importantly, the bill clarifies 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.
