Sec. 6. (a) The attorney general shall ascertain the amounts paid to any person for court costs under IC 33-37, licenses, money unclaimed in estates or guardianships, fines, penalties, or forfeitures, or monies that escheat to the state under IC 29-1-2-1 or from any other source where the money is required to be paid to the state or to any officer in trust for the state. In all cases where an officer required to collect the money fails to do so after the cause of action in favor of the state has accrued, or fails to sue for and recover any property belonging to or which may escheat to the state, the attorney general shall institute all necessary proceedings to compel the payment of the money or recovery of the property. The payment to or collection by the attorney general of any of the funds does not render an officer liable to an action on the officer's bond by any other officer or person.
(b) The officers having the custody of the money shall report to the attorney general, upon oath or affirmation, all facts pertaining to it, upon the attorney general's demand, in person, by deputy or assistants, or in writing.
(c) An officer who fails to render the information upon demand commits a Class C infraction.
