Baytown Lawmakers Clash Over Bad Checks Bill
State Rep. Joe Allen of Baytown opposed House Bill 74, a bill by Rep. Fred Head to expand penalties for bad checks. The measure would create a sliding scale from 200 dollars for under five dollars to prison terms up to twenty years for checks over ten thousand, with district court preference for large checks. Critics warned the bill would clog courts and harm merchants, while proponents argued it would protect law abiding citizens. An emergency meeting was planned for Thursday evening in Harris County Annex No. 8 to discuss the proposal with merchants and a House aide.
