§ 31-58. Dishonored check charges.  


Latest version.
  • Whenever any check or draft tendered to the county in payment of any fine, penalty, cost or other charge as provided in this chapter is dishonored by a bank or otherwise returned as uncollectible, a charge of ten dollars ($10.00), or as may be otherwise established from time to time by the county executive by executive regulation adopted under method (3) of section 2A-15 of this Code, may be imposed and added to the amount due in order to defray the cost of its collection. In such cases, the county may require that the total amount due be paid in the form of a certified check or money order. (1978 L.M.C., ch. 7, § 2; 1984 L.M.C., ch. 24, § 36.)
