established on the books of the Comptroller.

B. The Fund shall consist of all proceeds distributed to the

result of the federal equitable sharing distribution following the settlement of
United States v. Abbott Laboratories, Case No. 1:12-CR-00026 (W.D
Va.)(Settlement). The Fund shall also consist of any moneys appropriated from
the general fund, grants and donations received by the Council, and other moneys
received by the State Treasurer and designated for deposit in the Fund. Interest
and other income earned on the Fund shall be credited to the Fund. Any moneys
remaining in the Fund, including interest and other income thereon, at the end
of each fiscal year shall not revert to the general fund but shall remain in the

comprising the Fund shall be invested, reinvested, and managed by the Board of
the Virginia Retirement System as provided in &#xA7; 51.1-124.37. The State
Treasurer shall not be held liable for losses suffered by the Virginia
Retirement System on investments made under the authority of this section.

D. The Fund shall be expended solely for the purpose of supporting prosecutor
training and, as appropriate, law-enforcement training and associated costs
approved by the Council and any other purpose permitted by this article that is
consistent with the Settlement described in subsection B.

E. An amount not to exceed six percent of the moving average of the market value
of the Fund calculated over the previous five years or since inception,
whichever is shorter, on a one-year delayed basis, net of any administrative fee
assessed pursuant to subsection E of &#xA7; 51.1-124.37, may be expended in a
calendar year for any purpose permitted by this article. The Council shall not
be required to expend such amount in a calendar year, and any amount up to such
six percent that is not expended in a calendar year may be expended in any other
calendar year.

F. The disbursement of moneys from the Fund shall be made by the State
Comptroller at the written request of the Council.
