Provides that the Department of Commerce and Community Affairs shall implement the provisions of the Act. Provides that an insurance company that qualifies as a certified investor shall earn a vested credit against State privilege taxes equal to 100% of the investor's investment of certified capital, of which 10% may be taken in any taxable year. Provides that the aggregate amount of certified capital for which privilege tax credits shall be allowed for all certified investors shall not exceed the amount that would entitle all certified investors to take aggregate credits of $30,000,000 per year. Amends the Illinois Insurance Code to provide that the amount of the credit earned under the Certified Capital Company Act may be deducted from a company's privilege tax liability.
