(A) It is unlawful to issue in exchange for anything of value with intent to defraud any check, draft, or order for the payment of money in the amount of $1 to $25 upon any bank or other depository knowing at the time of the issue that insufficient funds or credit exists with the bank or other depository for the payment in full by the check, draft, or order. Each check shall constitute a separate offense. Offense of issuance of fraudulent check in excess of $25 shall be turned over to a higher authority. When the amount of the check, draft or order or the total amount of the checks, drafts or order are for more than $1 but less than $25, imprisonment for not more than 30 days or a fine of not more than $100 or both such fine and imprisonment.
(B) In the event any person receives a check in return for giving of anything of value, which check is later dishonored by the bank upon which it is drawn, and after due notice, the person who issued the check refuses to make proper and full reimbursement, it shall be presumed the check issued with the intent to defraud, and the person receiving the check may file a complaint thereon, directly with the Municipal Court.
