This chapter may be known as the "Returned Check
Ordinance."
Whenever a check payable to any account of the
Township of Bloomfield is returned for insufficient funds, a service
charge of $20 per transaction shall be added to the account. The service
charge shall be paid and credited before any other payment on the
account is accepted and credited.
Unpaid service charges shall become delinquent
and, when applicable, a lien against property, to be enforced in the
same manner as other liens.
Any person whose returned checks become chronic,
as determined by the Chief Financial Officer, may thereafter be required
to pay in cash or by certified or cashier's check.
