WASHINGTON-The Federal Reserve Board recently proposed changes to Regulation J to bring the entire range of the its check processing services in line with the Check Clearing for the 21st Century Act. Check 21, which becomes effective Oct. 28, allows banks to substitute original checks with electronic versions for greater efficiency while maintaining the legal equivalency of the instruments.
