If a district attorney or the Attorney General has not instituted such a proceeding or has not pursued one which was instituted in accordance with the agreement, the other may intercede after giving the prosecutor designated in the agreement 30 days’ written notice of the intention to do so. In any action so brought, the district court shall proceed as soon as practicable to the hearing and determination.
