§ 16-19. Issuing bad checks.

Latest version.

(a)

A person commits the offense of issuing a bad check when, with the purpose of obtaining control over property or to secure property, labor or services of another, such person issues or delivers a check or other order upon a real or fictitious depository for the payment of money, knowing that it will not be paid by the depository.

(b)

If the offender has an account with the depository, failure to make good the check or other order within five days after written notice of nonpayment has been received by the issuer is prima facie evidence that the offender knew that it would not be paid by the depository.

(Code 1981, § 9.02.180)
