Researchers should consult the archivist about related materials. FOIA request 2010-0381 contains news articles concerning the Supreme Court ruling on Barnett Banks. Barnett Bank was founded in 1877 and eventually became the largest commercial bank in Florida. The bank was sold to NationsBank in 1997. NationsBank and BankAmerica Corp merged in 1998 to form Bank of America. In October of 1993, Barnett Banks, an affiliated national bank, which has branches in small Florida towns, bought a Florida licensed insurance agency. The Florida State Insurance Commissioner, referencing the 1974 Florida State Statute which prohibits banks from selling certain types of insurance, ordered Barnett to stop selling insurance. Barnett filed action for declaratory and injunctive relief in federal court claiming the 1916 Federal Statute pre-empted the Florida State Statute. The District Court ruled for the defendant, the Florida State Insurance Commissioner, by upholding that the Federal Statute did not fall within the McCarran Ferguson Act’s exception because it did not specifically relate to the business of insurance and that the State Statue was a law enacted for the purpose of regulating insurance. The Eleventh Circuit Court of Appeals upheld the District Court’s ruling. In March of 1996, the Supreme Court overturned the ruling of the District Court and sided with the plaintiff, Barnett Banks. The Supreme Court reasoned that the Federal Statute which gives banks broad privileges to sell insurance is governed by federal rules and regulations and the State does not have to right to pre-empt the Federal Statute.
