This bill authorizes the Sheriff of Houston County to establish procedures for using credit and debit cards for making purchases of tangible personal property or services, as approved by the sheriff. 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 factors such as fees, rewards, and interest rates, and any rewards earned from card usage will be deposited into the discretionary account of the Houston County Sheriff's Office.

The bill emphasizes that the purpose of these procedures is to enhance the efficiency of payment methods for authorized purchases, while also ensuring that the sheriff does not exceed legally appropriated funds or create debt for the Houston County Commission. The act will take effect on June 1, 2025. There are no deletions from current law noted in the text provided.
