The bill authorizes the Sheriff of Lawrence County to establish procedures for using credit and debit cards for making purchases, provided that proper protocols are followed. It defines "credit card" and "debit card" and outlines the sheriff's authority to create written policies that include monetary limits on individual and total monthly purchases, as well as procedures for secure access to card information, record-keeping, and timely payment of bills. Additionally, the sheriff is tasked with selecting card providers based on various criteria, including fees and rewards.

The bill also stipulates that any rewards or rebates earned from the use of these cards must be deposited into the discretionary account of the Lawrence County Sheriff's Office. It emphasizes that the sheriff cannot exceed the funds appropriated under law or establish any debt for the Lawrence County Commission. Furthermore, it specifies that purchases made with the credit card must be funded from the Sheriff's Discretionary Fund, except for travel expenses, which can be paid from the general fund budget, adhering to the county's travel policy. The act is set to take effect on October 1, 2026.
