Lauderdale County, sheriff, authorized to use credit or debit cards, procedures

HB 100 authorizes the Lauderdale County Sheriff's Office to use credit or debit cards for purchasing tangible property or approved services, directly affecting the sheriff's office operations. The bill requires the sheriff to establish written procedures including purchase amount limits, strict record-keeping, monthly bill reviews, and full monthly payments to avoid fees. It also mandates that any rewards or rebates from card use be deposited into the sheriff's discretionary fund. The law explicitly states it does not allow exceeding existing appropriations or creating new debt for the county.
