According to Florida State Statue FS 832.05 (giving worthless checks, drafts, and debit card orders...(etc.)):

• Worthless Checks up to $150.00 constitute a misdemeanor in the first degree
• Worthless Checks over $150.00 constitute a felony in the third degree

Palm Beach State reserves the right to take necessary actions against those check writers including assessing the maximum fees allowable by law including:

• Current bank service fee for returned checks plus amount allowed by law; therefore, Palm Beach State's returned check fees are as follows:
  
  - Checks under $50.00 will be charged $26.50.
  - Checks from $50.00 - $299.99 will be charged $31.50.
  - Checks from $300.00 - $800.00 will be charged $41.50.
  - Checks over $800.00 will be charged 5% of the check amount.

Students who have presented 2 returned checks will no longer be allowed to pay by personal check. All fees are subject to change.
