ISSUES (A CHECK)

A person "issues" a check when, as a drawer or representative drawer thereof, (he/she) delivers it or causes it to be delivered to a person who thereby acquires a right against the drawer with respect to such check.  One who draws a check with intent that it be so delivered is deemed to have issued it if the delivery occurs.
