Sunshine Laws
U.S. federal and state laws requiring regulatory authorities' meetings, decisions and records to be made available to the public. Investopedia Says:
Sunshine laws were first created in the mid-70s in a bid to increase public disclosure of governmental agencies. Sunshine laws do not allow all citizens to attend meetings, but they do ensure that media and representatives of the public can attend. Related Terms:
