The sunshine act guarantees the right of the public to be present at all meetings of certain defined public bodies (i.e., "agencies") and to witness the deliberation, policy formulation, and decision making of agencies which is "vital to the enhancement and proper functioning of the democratic process." In addition to guaranteeing this right, the Sunshine Act also requires the advertising and public notice of agency meetings and provides for reasonable public comment during board, council, or authority meetings. It also provides for limited exceptions and establishes penalties for violations of the act. Discussion will include Act 65 recently signed into law requiring public agencies to publish a meeting agenda.
