This article may be known as the "Returned Check
Ordinance."
[Amended 4-14-2010 by Ord. No. 576]
Whenever a check payable to any account of the
Borough of Medford Lakes is returned for insufficient funds a service
charge as provided in the Borough's Fee Schedule 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 cashier's check.
