(3)(a) The Attorney General may assert the rights of a qualified beneficiary with respect to a charitable trust having its principal place of administration in this state. The Attorney General has standing to assert such rights in any judicial proceedings.

(b) Where the Attorney General asserts the rights of a qualified beneficiary as provided in paragraph (a), the Attorney General has the exclusive authority to represent the general public, unnamed charitable beneficiaries, and any person other than a named charitable beneficiary having a special interest in a charitable trust, in any judicial proceedings within this state or elsewhere, with respect to all matters relating to the administration of the charitable trust, including, and without limitation, contract and trust law claims relating to charitable distributions and the exercise of trustee powers.
