aa That § 6-130 of the Code of Virginia be amended and reenacted as
follows:

§ 6-130. In any prosecution under the preceding section, the making
or drawing or uttering or delivery of a check, draft, or order, payment
of which is refused by the drawee because of lack of funds or credit,
shall be prima facie evidence of intent to defraud and of knowledge of
insufficient funds in, or credit with, such bank, banking institution, trust
company or other depository unless such maker or drawer, or some one
for him, shall have paid the holder thereof the amount due thereon, to-
gether with interest, and protest fees (if any), within five days after
receiving written notice that such check, draft, or order has not been
paid to the holder thereof. Notice mailed by certified or registered mail,
evidenced by return receipt, to the last known address of the maker or
drawer shall be deemed sufficient and equivalent to notice having been
received by the maker or drawer.
