[HISTORY: Adopted by the Mayor and Council
of the Borough of Sea Bright 2-4-1992. Amendments noted where applicable.]
This chapter may be known as the "Returned Check
Ordinance."
Whenever a check made payable to any account
of the Borough of Sea Bright 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, shall also become 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 Clerk of the Borough of Sea Bright, may thereafter
be required to pay in cash or by certified or cashier's check.
