The Open Government Training for Texas is Coming Soon. Sign up and be the first to know when it's ready.
What is a Sunshine Law?
Because government has the ability to effect the lives of its citizens, it's proper that it operates openly so citizens can see their government in action. Sunshine Laws shed light on the process of government by requiring meetings to take place in view of the public and by making government documents available to the public.
Wasted Money and Time
Governing bodies that violate meeting laws waste a tremendous amount of time and money. In most jurisdictions, anything decided in an unlawful meeting is voided. The time spent carefully discussing matters of importance is lost because of simple, avoidable mistakes. It gets worse when governing bodies lose money due to legal fees fighting court battles after violating the law.
Jail Time and Fines
In many locations, a member of a governing body who violates meeting law can be fined and even jailed. In Texas, for example, a member can see up to 6 months of jail time for every violation of the meeting law he or she commits. Imagine wanting to help your community, but ending up in prison because you violated the law!
