A. On or before April 1 each year, every justice of the peace whose court is in possession of funds obtained from any source for more than two years shall pay the funds to the county treasurer and shall provide the treasurer with an itemized list showing the name of the person depositing the money with the justice, whether the money was a victim restitution payment, the date of the deposit and the amount.
