| Long Title: | AN ACT TO AMEND TITLE 8 OF THE DELAWARE CODE RELATING TO THE GENERAL CORPORATION LAW. |
| Synopsis: | Section 1. The Amendment to Section 219(a), Title 8, of the Delaware Code, is to remove any suggestion that the words "examined" and "inspected" were intentionally distinct.
Section 2. Section 219(b), Title 8, of the Delaware Code, has been substantially rewritten to eliminate the concept of "willful neglect" and to allocate and specify the burden of proof on an application to compel examination of a list. It replaces the single sanction of ineligibility to stand for election with a grant of broad authority to the Court of Chancery to fashion appropriate relief.
Section 3. Section 3 amends § 225(b) to include the corporation itself as a permissible applicant in an action brought under that subsection.
