The bill authorizes the Board of Commissioners of Chilton County 911 to establish procedures for the Director of Chilton County 911 to make purchases using a credit or debit card issued to the agency.

The bill also stipulates that any rewards or rebates earned from the use of the credit or debit cards must be deposited into the discretionary account of Chilton County 911. Importantly, it clarifies that the provisions do not authorize Chilton County 911 to exceed its legally appropriated funds or incur debt. The act is set to become effective on June 1, 2025.
