| If a local government issues purchase cards or credit cards to its elected officials, this bill requires cards to be used solely for public duties and officials to follow a written policy to be adopted via a local ordinance on or after January 1, 2016. Said policy must designate the officials authorized to use a card; require the user to sign a cardholder agreement; set transaction limits; describe purchases which are authorized and not authorized; designate a card administrator; and set procedures for addressing violations of card policies and penalties for violations including, but not limited to, revocation of card privileges and misdemeanor prosecution. Penalties for public officials who misuse public funds are clarified and increased. Lastly, language was added clarifying that local development authorities are authorized to expend funds for hospital and health care facilities - which are defined rather broadly.

| This legislation provides for a state salary increase of 5 percent across the board for superior court judges, district attorneys and circuit public defenders. The bill also includes a state supplement of 6,000 per year to superior court judges, district attorneys and circuit public defenders who have an accountability court operating within their judicial circuit. Language is included to exclude other officials who are tied by local legislation from receiving the same supplement or having the state supplement used in calculating any other officials salary that is tied to the superior court judge, district attorney or circuit public defender. However, if other officials are tied to the state salary, the 5 percent across the board in state pay will be used in calculating those officials salaries. This legislation also provides for the establishment of the Judicial, District Attorney and Circuit Public Defender Compensation Commission to conduct periodic reviews of all aspects of compensation and workload assessment and resource utilization. If other county employees or officials are tied to the superior court judges salary, the 5% increase will apply to those tied. The salary increase is effective January 1, 2016. |
