The bill, SB305, authorizes the sheriff of Hale County to establish procedures for using a credit card or debit card for limited purchases, as long as proper procedures are followed. The bill defines credit card and debit card and allows the sheriff to adopt written policies and procedures for utilizing these cards. The procedures must include monetary limits on individual purchases and total monthly purchases, as well as measures to ensure the sheriff has sole access to the cards and to keep accurate records of purchases. The sheriff is also required to review credit card bills each month and pay them in full on time. The bill also allows the sheriff to select a credit card or debit card provider based on various factors, such as annual fees, rewards or rebates, interest rates, and penalties for termination. Any rewards or rebates earned from the cards must be deposited into the discretionary account of the Hale County Sheriff's Office. The bill will become effective immediately upon passage and approval by the Governor.
