Practice question
The drawer had sufficient funds at issue. The prosecution invokes only the second-paragraph failure-to-maintain mode, but the check was first presented one hundred days after its date. No applicable basis alters that specified mode’s ninety-day condition. May the prosecutor simply omit that condition because the check later bounced?
- No
- Yes, every later dishonor automatically satisfies the ninety-day wording
- Yes, one hundred is within ninety
- Only the amount decides the period
- The statute contains no maintaining-funds presentment limit
