Sheriff, use of credit card or debit card authorized

SB 326 authorizes the Sheriff of Jackson County to establish procedures for using credit or debit cards to make purchases for the sheriff's office. The bill requires the sheriff to adopt written policies, including monetary limits for individual and total monthly purchases, and procedures for sole access, accurate record-keeping, and timely bill payments. Any rewards or rebates earned from card use must be deposited into the sheriff's discretionary account. This aims to provide a more efficient payment method for authorized purchases, without allowing spending beyond legally appropriated funds.
