| Long Title: | AN ACT TO AMEND TITLE 6 OF THE DELAWARE CODE RELATING TO DISHONORED CHECKS, DRAFTS OR ORDERS. |
| Synopsis: | This legislation substantially reenacts the civil bad check statute (formerly 6 Del. C. § 3-806) which was repealed in 1995, and sets damages at $50.00 for the first bad check, draft, or order for the payment of money by a drawer to the plaintiff within one (1) year. Damages are set at triple the amount of the bad check, draft or order for the second or subsequent bad check, draft, or order within one (1) year not to exceed $250.00. It further specifies that the fee for a dishonored check prior to commencement of an action shall be $40.00. It expressly provides that damages or fees may not be obtained under this Act in any action for repayment of a short-term consumer loan, also known as a pay-day loan, made by a bank and subject to 5 Del. C. § 978 or made by a licensed lender and subject to 5 Del. C. § 2235A.
