Sheriff, to authorize use of credit card or debit card

This bill authorizes the Sheriff of Lawrence County to use credit and debit cards for official purchases of tangible personal property and services. The sheriff must establish written policies, including monetary limits for individual and monthly spending, procedures for card access, and requirements for accurate record-keeping and timely bill payment. Any rewards or rebates earned from card use must be deposited into the Sheriff's Office discretionary account. Purchases are to be paid from the Sheriff's Discretionary Fund, with travel expenses potentially covered by the general fund budget, without exceeding appropriated amounts or creating debt for the county commission.
