Note: The Legislative Council committee file shows that the clause in s. 322.1235 (1) (b) that begins "makes, draws" and ends "its presentment" was improperly placed within the provision, as that language is applicable to the offenses enumerated in both s. 322.1235 (1) and (2). The Legislative Council committee file also shows that "article" was inadvertently replaced by "section" during the drafting process. The language renumbered as s. 322.1235 (2) is moved into a separate subsection, as it is not a part of the offense enumerated in s. 322.1235 (1) (b), as renumbered.
