(2) As long as Sections 632.11 and 632.13, Florida Statutes, remain undisturbed, the fact that a policy issued by a domestic or foreign mutual fire insurance company designates the policy- holder as a member and entitled to vote with respect to corporate affairs will not be construed as constituting the state a “joint owner or stock- holder of any such company, within the mean- ing of such words in Article 9, Section 10, Florida Constitution. (3) In view of the fact that all insurers are subjected to examinations by competent public authorities from time to time, it is considered that reasonably when the policy of a foreign mutual fire insurance company provides that the same is non-assessable and non-participating, it may be assumed that such provisions are in pursuance of the charter powers and statutes of the insurer's home state. It is suggested that the County Commissioners instruct the County Attorney to attach this opinion to his law books from the Attorney General of the State of Florida, for future ref- erence so that he, the County Attorney. may quote the law without FEAR or FAVOR.
