03.054 DUPLICATE CHECKS

SECTION 03 – BUSINESS and AUXILIARY SERVICES

The technology center may issue a second or duplicate check in lieu of any check issued and subsequently lost or destroyed by the payee. No second or duplicate check will be issued until the technology center has stopped payment on the check by the payor bank or, in the alternative, until an affidavit explaining the circumstances regarding how the original check was lost or destroyed has been submitted to the technology center by the payee. The appropriate administrator, treasurer or designee may use his/her discretion in determining which alternative to use to preclude any technology center loss, taking into account the technology center’s past relationship with the payee, the amount of the original check, and other relevant factors.
