§ 2-482. Charge to be added to obligation when check or draft returned unpaid.

Latest version.

Whenever any person shall give or cause to be given to the city or any department or agency thereof a check or draft drawn on a bank in purported payment of any obligation due the city, which check or draft is dishonored or unpaid by reason of the drawer having no account, having insufficient funds therein, or having stopped payment on the check or draft, there shall be added to the obligation due the city that sum which is allowed by state law. Such sum shall be collected in the same manner as any other indebtedness due the city and any receipt theretofore given in reliance upon such check or draft shall be null and void, and no other receipt shall be given for the payment of the original indebtedness until such charge has also been paid. Nothing in this section shall prevent the city from prosecuting anyone passing a dishonored check to the fullest extent of the law.

(Code 1979, § 2-369)
