SB 5847: Dishonored checks

Sending a notice of dishonor to the drawer of a check.

Summary

Failure to attach a copy of the affidavit of service to the notice of dishonor, or to supply one by mail within one business day following a written request, forfeits the right to collect interest, collection costs, or attorneys' fees by the person attempting to enforce the check. The right to collect the principal amount of the check is unaffected.
