8-1,118. Same; insufficient or no fund check; penalty; collection of
debt; suspension and reinstatement of registration.
Whenever any person, or owner, as payment for any fees or penalty provided
by this act presents a check on a bank in which such person has no money
on deposit, or in which there is insufficient money on deposit for the payment
of such check upon presentation, the division of vehicles shall immediately
provide notice to the owner of a fleet registered hereunder that such owner's
right to operate the vehicles of such fleet upon the highways of Kansas
has been suspended. Upon the owner's receiving notice aforesaid, such owner
shall return the identification devices issued for the vehicles of such
owner's fleet or remit full payment to cover the amount of the insufficient
or no fund check together with a penalty of ten dollars ($10) to the division
of vehicles. If the insufficient or no fund check is not replaced by appropriate
payment and penalty within ten (10) days of the date of notice, the division
of vehicles may collect the debt by filing a notice of lien in the same
manner and to the extent as provided in K.S.A. 8-1,115. The amount of the
insufficient or no fund check together with penalty shall constitute a debt
due the state, which may be collected by suit or otherwise. Nothing in this
subsection shall be construed so as to exclude criminal prosecutions as
in other cases involving insufficient or no fund checks.
Upon payment of the insufficient or no fund check and penalty by the fleet
owner, the division of vehicles shall give notice to the fleet owner of
reinstatement of such owner's right to operate the vehicles of a fleet registered
hereunder, and return any identification devices to said owner which may
have been received by the division of vehicles.
