Whenever any person is charged with vehicular homicide pursuant to R.S. 14:32.1 and an order for the payment of reparations is or has been made pursuant to this Chapter from the act constituting the crime for the charge, the attorney general, within two years after the date on the charges are final, may institute a civil action against the person charged for the recovery of all or any part of the reparations payment. The suit shall be instituted in the district court having jurisdiction in the parish in which the person resides or is found.

If an amount greater than that paid pursuant to the order for payment of reparations is recovered and collected in the action, the board shall pay the balance to the person.

            B. The board shall provide the attorney general with information, data, and reports as the attorney general may require to institute actions in accordance with this Section.
