Montgomery County; sheriff's office, authorize the use of credit cards

This bill authorizes the Montgomery County Sheriff's Office to use a credit card for approved purchases of property and services.

The sheriff is also instructed to choose a card provider based on factors like fees, interest rates, and potential rewards, with any earned rewards going into the Sheriff's Fund. The law takes effect on October 1, 2024.
