Answer:

Information on Pima County's Bad Check program can be located on Pima County's website.  According to the website, participation in the program is optional and is offered as an alternative to being prosecuted. However, if a bad check is not paid, the Pima County Attorney has the discretion to offer the opportunity to enter a diversion program, pay restitution or proceed with prosecution. You may want to look through the documents available on the Bad Check Program's website to familiarize yourself with the process.
