A. A person is guilty of unlawful issuance of a bank check if, with intent to defraud, he makes, draws, utters or delivers to another person any check or draft on a bank or other depository for the payment of money in an amount not exceeding $750.00, knowing at the time of such drawing or delivery that he has not sufficient funds in or credit with such bank or depository to meet such check or draft in full upon its presentation.

B. The word “credit” as used in this section shall be construed to mean an arrangement or understanding with the bank or depository for the payment of such check or draft, and the uttering or delivering of such a check or draft to another person without such fund or credit to meet the same shall be prima facie evidence of an intent to defraud.

C. Unlawful issuance of a bank check is a gross misdemeanor. (Ord. 1335 §7, 2009; Ord. 499 §2 (part), 1978).
