Section 45-16-200.02

Voiding of licenses for invalid payment.

(a) This section shall only be operative in Coffee County.

(b) In Coffee County, if a check given for a license is found to be non-collectible for any reason, the judge of probate will notify the worthless check unit of the district attorney's office, who shall make a reasonable attempt to collect the amount due for the license. If the collection cannot be made, the district attorney's office shall so state and the statement shall constitute authorization for the judge of probate to void the license. After the license has been voided, the judge of probate shall receive credit for the cost of the license plus the issuance fee. The appropriate state office shall mark the records pertaining to the void license and, upon inquiry by law enforcement agencies, shall notify the agencies that the party in question is operating under a void license. A person who operates a business with a void license shall be prosecuted in accordance with current law.
