(a) "Issues." — A person issues a check when, as drawer thereof or as a person who signs a check as drawer in a representative capacity
or as agent of the person whose name appears thereon as the principal drawer or obligor, the person delivers it or causes it to be delivered
to a person who thereby acquires a right against the drawer with respect to the check. One who draws a check with intent that it be so
delivered is deemed to have issued it if the delivery occurs.
(b) "Passes." — A person passes a check when, being a payee, holder or bearer of a check which previously has been or purports to
have been drawn and issued by another, the person delivers it, for a purpose other than collection to a third person who thereby acquires
a right with respect thereto.
