   each  check  delivered  to  the circuit clerk that is not honored on 2      
   occasions by the financial institution upon which it is drawn  because      
   of  insufficient  funds in the account, because the account is closed,

   on the check.

   population  that exceeds 250 shall receive reimbursement in the amount
