Cal. Ins. Code § 11017 — Organization is in force in the current edition of the Code, and nothing recorded condemns it.
After September 21, 1952, no unincorporated or voluntary association shall be permitted to transact business in this State as a fraternal benefit society under this chapter.
Any domestic voluntary association now authorized to transact business in this State may incorporate when:
(a) It shall have completed its conversion to an incorporated society, not later than one year after the effective date of this chapter;
(b) It has filed its articles of incorporation and has satisfied the other requirements prescribed in this article; and
(c) The commissioner shall have made such examination and procured whatever additional information he shall deem advisable.
Every voluntary association so incorporated shall incur the obligations and enjoy the benefits thereof the same as though originally incorporated, and such corporation shall be deemed a continuation of the original voluntary association. The officers thereof shall serve through their respective terms as provided in its original articles of association, but their successors shall be elected and serve as provided in its articles of incorporation. Incorporation of a voluntary association shall not affect existing suits, claims or contracts.
