22-30A-24. Theft by insufficient funds check--Degrees according to amount--Aggregation of checks. Any person who, for himself or herself or as agent or representative of another, for a present consideration, with intent to defraud, passes a check drawn on a financial institution knowing at the time of such passing that there are not sufficient funds in the account on which the check was drawn in the financial institution for the payment of such check and all other checks upon such funds then outstanding, in full upon its presentation, although no express representation is made with reference thereto, is guilty of theft by insufficient funds check. Theft by insufficient funds check is punishable as theft pursuant to chapter 22-30A. In determining the degree of theft, the value of the property stolen or attempted to be stolen is the same as the face amount of the insufficient funds check. Any series of insufficient funds checks within any thirty-day period may be aggregated in amount to determine the degree of theft of such course of conduct.
