Be it enacted by the General Assembly of the State of Delaware:
Section 1. Title 29, Delaware Code, is amended by adding thereto a new Chapter to read:
CHAPTER 62. CAPITAL INVESTMENT FUND
§ 6201. Capital Investment Fund
There is hereby created and established a Capital Investment Fund. The Fund shall be administered and subject to the same controls as the General Fund of the State of Delaware except as otherwise provided in this Chapter.
§ 6202. Transfer of tax proceeds received from distribution of stock pursuant to a court order enforcing the antitrust laws
(a) The State Treasurer shall transfer each year from the General Fund to the Capital Investment Fund a sum equal to the amount of revenue deemed received by the State of Delaware from the income taxation in the preceding calendar year of a distribution of divested stock as defined in Section 1111 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1954, as amended, U. S. Code, Title 26.
(b) The amount to be transferred each year shall be the sum of the amounts determined by multiplying the "net divestiture gain", as hereinafter defined, of each taxable for the preceding calendar year by the highest Delaware income tax rate paid on his net income for such year. "Net divestiture gain" is the amount of capital gain taken into account in computing a taxable's net income pursuant to Section 1148 of Chapter 11, Title 30, Delaware Code, less all his allowed capital losses in excess of all his other capital gains.
(c) The amount to be transferred each year shall be determined by the State Tax Commissioner, and he shall notify the State Treasurer thereof in writing not later than the fifteenth day of June of that year.

The sums hereby appropriated shall be paid out of the Capital Investment Fund, provided that at the end of each fiscal year any unused portion of the sums so appropriated shall revert to the Capital Investment Fund.
