Which Florida Statute governs the 'Sunshine Law'?

• A. 114
• B. 121
• C. 119
• D. 111

Answer: (C)

Open access to government actions is the heart of the Sunshine Law. It requires that public meetings and public records be available for inspection and observation by citizens. The statute that governs this openness sets the rules for notifying, recording, and maintaining minutes, and it applies to meetings of boards, commissions, and agencies at the state and local levels. The intention is to promote transparency and accountability by allowing the public to see how decisions are made and what documents exist. The other options point to different areas of Florida law and do not establish these openness requirements, so they don't define the Sunshine Law.
