Any person who, for himself or herself or as an agent or representative of another, for present consideration, with intent to defraud, passes a check drawn on a financial institution knowing at the time of such passing that neither the check passer or the check passer's principal has an account with such financial institution, is guilty of theft by no account check. Theft by no account check is punishable as theft pursuant to chapter 22-30A . In determining the degree of theft, the value of the property stolen or attempted to be stolen is the same as the face amount of the no account check. Any series of no account checks within any thirty-day period may be aggregated in amount to determine the degree of theft of such course of conduct. It is a defense to prosecution pursuant to this section that the check passer's or the check passer's principal's account was closed without the check passer's knowledge. Evidence that the financial institution mailed a notice by certified or registered mail to the person in whose name the account was listed at the last address contained in the financial institution's records is prima facie proof that the check passer had knowledge that such account was closed.
