Title 11, Chapter 3, Section 409
( 11-3-409)
Acceptance of draft; certified check. (a) "Acceptance" means the drawee's signed agreement to pay a draft
as presented. It must be written on the draft and may consist of
the drawee's signature alone. Acceptance may be made at any time
and becomes effective when notification pursuant to instructions is
given or the accepted draft is delivered for the purpose of giving
rights on the acceptance to any person. (b) A draft may be accepted although it has not been signed by the
drawer, is otherwise incomplete, is overdue, or has been dishonored. (c) If a draft is payable at a fixed period after sight and the
acceptor fails to date the acceptance, the holder may complete the
acceptance by supplying a date in good faith. (d) "Certified check" means a check accepted by the bank on which it
is drawn. Acceptance may be made as stated in subsection (a) of
this Code section or by a writing on the check which indicates that
the check is certified. The drawee of a check has no obligation to
certify the check, and refusal to certify is not dishonor of the
check. |
