There is hereby imposed a service fee of $20 upon the accounts for any
check which is submitted in payment to the Township, which is returned to
the Township for nonpayment for the reason of insufficient funds.
Whenever an account owing to a municipality is for a tax, assessment
or some other municipal service, the service charge authorized by this chapter
shall be included on whichever list of delinquent accounts is prepared for
the enforcement of the lien.
Any service charge authorized by this chapter shall be collected in
the same manner prescribed by law for the collection of the account for which
the check or other written instrument was tendered.
After the adoption of this chapter, any account for which the Township
receives checks which are returned for insufficient funds on more than two
occasions shall be required, in the future, to be paid by certified check.
