Worthless check laws for Florida apply to the whole state. So any laws regarding worthless checks in Fort Lauderdale is the same as any laws regarding worthless checks in Miami or West Palm Beach.

There are strict rules by which worthless checks must be submitted to the state attorney's office for prosecution. If the worthless check was for insufficient funds then a letter must be submitted to the check writer within 10 days, giving the writer 10 days from the day the letter was received, to make good on the check plus a fee of $30 or 5 % of the amount of the check, whichever is greater. After the 10 day lapse, the check may be submitted to the state attorney's office and they will decide whether to prosecute it. If the check was returned for any other reason than for insufficient funds, and the check may be submitted immediately to the state attorney's office for prosecution. In either case, the victim has 10 days to submit the check to the state attorney's office.

For misdemeanors the state attorney has up to one year to file charges, or up to four years to file for felony check charges.
