The attorney general and reporter shall collect all income, from whatever source derived, which is owing to the defendant, or representative or assignee of the defendant, after the date of the crime.
If the district attorney general of the district in which a defendant's conviction occurred, or any district attorney general, has or becomes aware of any information concerning income that is in such defendant's possession or is owing to such defendant, it shall be the duty of such district attorney general to notify the attorney general and reporter of such information.
Any such district attorney general who has or becomes aware of information concerning a defendant's income as described in subdivision (a)(2) shall also assist and work with the attorney general and reporter in locating and collecting such income.
The attorney general and reporter shall deposit the moneys collected in an interest-bearing escrow account in the name of the defendant. The moneys shall be payable to the victim or victims of the crime committed by the defendant. The moneys shall only be payable if the victim, or legal representative of the victim's estate, brings a civil action in a court of competent jurisdiction for money damages against the defendant within three (3) years from the date of the crime, subject to § 29-13-404.
