When any contract described in § 23A-28A-1 is submitted to the attorney general or the attorney general receives information of the existence of such a contract, notice of intent to proceed under the provisions of this chapter shall be given by the attorney general, if he contends such contract is within the purview of this chapter, to any accused or convicted person who is a party in interest to the contract and to all other persons known to have any interest in the contract. Within thirty days after service of notice, any accused or convicted person claiming the right to possession of such moneys or other personal property under the contract may make application to any circuit court for permission to show cause why said moneys or other personal property should not be paid over to the attorney general and placed in escrow under the terms of this chapter. Any show cause proceedings shall be set for hearing on a day not more than thirty days therefrom; at the hearing any accused person, convicted person, or party in interest who has made application may show by competent evidence that the money or personal property is not subject to being escrowed under the terms of this chapter. If the court finds that the moneys and personal property are not subject to the escrow provisions under this chapter, the court shall order that the escrow provisions of this chapter do not apply; and the court shall order the escrowing of the moneys if it determines that such moneys and personal property are subject to the escrow provisions of this chapter. The procedure governing any proceedings, except as herein provided, shall be conducted pursuant to Title 15.
