LIABILITY OF DRAWER OR INDORSER
(a) Unless otherwise instructed, a collecting bank may present an item
not payable by, through, or at a bank by sending to the party to
accept or pay a written notice that the bank holds the item for
acceptance or payment. The notice must be sent in time to be received
on or before the day when presentment is due and the bank must meet
any requirement of the party to accept or pay under Section 3-501 by
the close of the bank's next banking day after it knows of the
requirement.
(b) If presentment is made by notice and payment, acceptance, or
request for compliance with a requirement under Section 3-501 of this
title is not received by the close of business on the day after
maturity or, in the case of demand items, by the close of business on
the third banking day after notice was sent, the presenting bank may
treat the item as dishonored and charge any drawer or indorser by
sending it notice of the facts.
