Section 901.54. Bad checks submitted as payment of fees

(a) Payment by a check which is not promptly paid by the drawee bank is grounds for immediate suspension of a license, registration or application. The suspension will continue until a certified check, cashier’s check or money order in the amount of the fee and the penalty imposed by subsection (b) is tendered or the original check is paid by the drawee bank and a check for the amount of the penalty imposed by subsection (b) is also remitted.

(b) When a check issued in payment of a fee, or for another purpose required by this part or the act is returned to the Department as uncollectible, the Department or licensing authority will charge a fee of 10% of the face amount thereof, plus protest fees, to the person presenting the check to cover the cost of its collection. The additions imposed will not exceed $200 nor be less than $10.
