This 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. The bill defines "credit card" as a line of credit from a domestic lender or credit card bank and outlines specific policies that must be adopted regarding the use of the card. These policies include setting monetary limits on individual and total monthly purchases, ensuring that only the judge or a designee has access to the card and its information, maintaining accurate records of purchases, and reviewing credit card bills monthly to prevent unauthorized charges.
Additionally, the bill stipulates that any rewards or rebates earned from the use of the credit card must be deposited into the Judge of Probate Fund. The judge is also responsible for selecting the credit card provider based on various criteria, including fees, rewards, interest rates, and penalties. The act is set to take effect immediately upon passage. There are no deletions from current law mentioned in the text.
