§ 25303.5

If any negotiable paper is not paid on due presentment for any reason, any record of payment made on any official record or in cash and fee book of the officer shall be canceled. Any receipt issued likewise shall be deemed to be canceled. The assessment, license, permit, fee, fine and other money is a lien as though no payment has been attempted.

The officer accepting negotiable paper shall make any memoranda necessary to enable him to make proper cancellation on its return without payment. The officer shall be discharged from accountability for collection on the dishonored paper only upon order of the board of supervisors.
