EFFECT: First, the conclusive presumption that the debtor received notice of a dishonored check three days after mailing a notice is taken out, allowing a debtor to demonstrate that he or she did not receive notice.

   Second, instead of allowing a collection agency to either retain an    affidavit certifying notice or file the affidavit with the court,    the agency is required to file the affidavit and check (or a copy    thereof) with the court.
