What are some laws related to dishonoured cheques?

[Good-Person]

There are many people who may get annoyed when they receive a cheque that gets dishonoured. Signing and forwarding a cheque that may get dishonoured may have legal complications as well. So, is this the case on your country as well?

Until recently, check bounce was a huge crime and the person who gave checks that bounced was sent to prison. However, recently laws have been changed at the request of banking associations in the country. Now, the person whose checks bounce will be goiven 30 days to settle the payment.
