The bill amends Section 11-3-61 of the Code of Alabama 1975 to expand the scope of county commission procurement programs to include not only tangible personal property but also services. It allows county commissions to consider both cost savings and administrative savings when implementing these programs. Additionally, the bill permits county commissions to designate an individual to oversee the procurement program, enhancing flexibility in management.

Key changes include the insertion of language that allows for the purchase of services and the consideration of administrative savings, as well as the designation of a designee by the county commission for oversight. The bill also outlines the necessary procedures and safeguards that must be established to ensure proper administration and oversight of the procurement program, including training for card users and regular reviews of purchases. The act is set to take effect on October 1, 2026.
