The bill authorizes the Judge of Probate in Montgomery County to establish procedures for making limited purchases using a credit card issued to the Montgomery County Probate Court's Office. It defines "credit card" as a line of credit from a domestic lender or credit card bank and outlines specific policies that must be adopted, including monetary limits on individual and total monthly purchases, access control to credit card information, accurate record-keeping, and monthly reviews of credit card bills to prevent unauthorized charges. Additionally, the judge is responsible for selecting the credit card provider based on various criteria, such as fees, rewards, and interest rates.
The bill also stipulates that any rewards or rebates earned from credit card usage must be deposited into the Judge of Probate Fund. The act is set to take effect immediately upon passage. The new legal language includes the insertion of provisions for credit card usage and the establishment of related procedures, while no deletions from current law are specified in the text provided.
