Sunshine Laws

Sunshine Laws are regulations that require certain government meetings, records, and decisions to be open to the public. These laws promote transparency and accountability in government operations, allowing citizens to observe and participate in the decision-making process. By ensuring that people can access information about how public agencies operate, Sunshine Laws help prevent corruption and encourage informed civic engagement. They can vary by jurisdiction but generally apply to local, state, and federal entities, fostering trust between the government and the communities it serves.
