628.301 Membership in mutual insurer.—
(1) Each policyholder of a domestic mutual insurer, other than of a reinsurance contract, is a member of the insurer with all rights and obligations of such membership; and the policy shall so specify. Group certificateholders may also be members of the insurer if so specified in the bylaws.
(2) Any person, public or private corporation, board, association, firm, estate, trustee, or fiduciary may be a member of a domestic mutual insurer. Any officer, stockholder, trustee, or legal representative of any such corporation, board, association, or estate may be recognized as acting for or on its behalf for the purpose of such membership and shall not be personally liable upon any contract of insurance for acting in such representative capacity. A mutual insurer may issue policies of insurance covering property of this state, or of any county or municipality of this state, without contingent liability, when such policy contains a provision that the state or any such county or municipality insured under it may not participate in the profits of such insurer.
