Short Summary
This legal document, found in the Nebraska Revised Statutes under Crimes and Punishments, governs the offense of issuing a no-account check. It applies to any person who knowingly issues or passes a check, draft, assignment of funds, or similar signed order for the payment of money without having an account with the drawee at the time of issuance. The severity of the offense is classified based on the amount of the check, draft, assignment of funds, or order. Aggregation of multiple checks, drafts, assignments, or orders within a sixty-day period in one county is allowed for determining the offense classification, but aggregation into more than one offense is not permitted. For subsequent offenses, the penalties increase in severity. This document provides the specific penalties for each offense classification.
