The sentences later courts lift from this opinion, ranked by how many decisions quote each — the parts of the opinion doing the work. These counts are smaller than the citation total above because most of the 14 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“"The right of a person to a pension, an annuity, a retirement allowance, or to the return of contributions; the pension, annuity or retirement allowance itself; any optional benefit or any other right accrued or accruing to any person under the provisions of this Subpart; and the moneys in the various funds created by this Subpart are exempt from any state or municipal tax, all state income tax, and exempt from levy and sale, garnishment, attachment or any other process whatsoever, and shall be unassignable except as otherwise specifically provided in this Subpart. The fund shall be sacredly held, kept, and secured and distributed for the purpose of pensioning the persons named in this Subpart and for the payment of death benefits and for no other purpose whatsoever."”
1 later decision quote this exact passage“"In giving consideration to the obvious legislative intent and purpose in enacting the statute creating and governing the teachers' retirement system, to which we have already referred, the conclusion is, to us, inescapable that the pension, annuity, or retirement benefit conferred upon plaintiff was her separate and paraphernal property, and that, therefore, its exclusion from the inventory as a community asset was proper."”
1 later decision quote this exact passage“"* * * Such are comparable to the rights of a beneficiary under a life insurance policy where no right is reserved to the insured to change the beneficiary. * * *" (Scott v. Scott, 179 So.2d at 657 )”
