Bill Summary
Relative to Sunshine Week.
AI Summary
This Concurrent Resolution, titled "Sunshine Week," formally recognizes and celebrates the public's commitment to open government and explores its meaning in a future enhanced by technology. It designates a specific week, March 15-21, 2015, as Sunshine Week, encouraging all Californians to participate in activities that promote open government and access to public information. The resolution highlights California's long-standing tradition of open government, referencing key laws like the Ralph M. Brown Act (guaranteeing public access to local government meetings), the Bagley-Keene Open Meeting Act (mandating open meetings for state agencies), and the California Public Records Act (affirming the public's right to access information about government actions). It also acknowledges voter-approved initiatives like the "Sunshine Amendment" and the growing trend of open data policies and the use of technology to improve government transparency and public trust.
